I will pm you for sure if I need to make it. right now I have to worry about my 14g peninsula. need to save up for a longfin black ice smh... Well let me know,I can give you an amazing deal. I usually always have DIY stuff so just ket me know. You won't need much. I have 5 leds yielding VERY good par before I built my current array. No ,the tank isn't even wet yet. I'm waiting on a fellow reefer that has a ATO I may trade him for. Then I just need salt then I will start the cycle. I plan to get a small piece of live rock from @Top Shelf Aquatics and let it cycle and get stable with params and all that for a month or 2 and then add sps. Doing a sps pico again,I miss them. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm not worried about it,I'm just going to let it cycle for a month or 2 and be sps ready then stock 'er full. 3 Quote Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Finally got a ato coming my way. Should be here this week coming up !!! Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 Well the ATO I traded for,the diaphragm I guess is shot. Its not pulling any water or letting any water out.. I guess things will be on hold until I get a new one -__- EDIT: So I took the whole pump apart,soaked everything in distilled vinegar and water for about 4 hours,got some air going thru everything but still nothing worked,so I filled the white pieces around under the rubber diaphragm's and I got water flow. I have been testing everything to make sure its good to go,and it looks like it is. So tomorrow I'm hoping to get to WWC to get some water !!! 2 Quote Link to comment

Thank you muchly sir !!! I'm happy its getting closer. As for the light,I built it over powered for a reason. I'm sure you know I like to switch tanks a lot lol and this could cover a 7g cube,IM 10-14 and everything in between lol. I'm still not 115% happy with it,but it will do the job. 1 Quote Link to comment

SeaFurn Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 In thought it was wet already just gonna sit for awhile and age? What’s holding you back? Let’s see how that killer light grows some sticks. Quote Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 Well every week I drive 4 hours for out of town work ( from Orlando to Tallahassee ),the hours are killing me and I have lost motivation and interest yet again. Part of me wants to sell everything and every bit of me knows I will regret it once I do lol. I'm just struggling at the moment. 1 2 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 It's funny for some crazy reason I have had this thought for a couple years now that I would find a post from you on here telling us you were going to start building light fixtures for sale. And making hybrid units like adding LEDS to T-5 fixtures, repairs and upgrades to existing fixtures. OK so maybe I was wrong but I do believe you are correct that selling everything would not be a good idea. Quote Link to comment
