A.m.P Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 2 hours ago, Reefkid88 said: That is the cheapest I could really come up with,with the use of quality components. The heat sink can handle 16 leds per a foot with no fan and waterproof !!! That is simply unheard of. So while it does seem high,it will be a unbeatable system. Yeah, cree and semi-led LED's add up surprisingly quickly once you actually start running the numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment

But you pay for the quality,performance and efficiency you don't get with those other brand leds. I'd much rather pay for quality and know they will last longer and not burn out,fall out of spectrum nearly as fast as other brands. 1 Quote Link to comment

I did fail to mention,I have some Zoa's set aside at a local store. I told them if they sell they sell but I sat aside: Fruit Loops Rasta's Sunny D's Pink Zippers Reverse Rasta's 2 other I don't remember. 3 Quote Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 So,do you guys think about stocking the tank with a jar of 8oz Algaebarn 8oz Nano Brine,16oz Poseidons Feast and Ocean Magik ? Quote Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 First supplemental prototype led has been created !!! Gotta make a bracket from my aluminum flat stock to screw into my AI mount,but this is just a test. At a 45ish degree angle it lights up the whole tank: 2 Quote Link to comment

I would love to do a shall long tank with nothing but Acan's and Z's and P's. This tank is too small for as many Acan's as I had. I'm gonna do a few in this tank,but I think of 2" or 3" frag tiles to grow out so I can frag them. All those colonies started out as 2-3 head frags. A tank long enough for 1 or 2 t5 bulbs,a couple of royal/violet leds for a super simple tank. 2 Quote Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 @NoOneLikesADryTang there is one there,refresh the page. Here is also a FTS I took yesterday with my new phone. My phone has this crazy like filter or some shit,the first all blue is without the filter,the 2nd one looks 110% how much tank actually looks with the filter. Its crazy. I did have to change my Prime settings because nothing had color or pop lol. 5 Quote Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 So guys,I need some input.. I don't normally keep fish in such a small system,but I was thinking about it some last night. Do you guys think a pair or Neon or Sharknose Gobies would do good or maybe even 2 Yellow Clown Gobies ? 2 Quote Link to comment

YCG would limit you from having SPS, especially acros, I believe. 2 Quote Link to comment
