  1. I'm going to do a comparison video with the last one when I install it. Review is coming! I promise! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. 2 days in, I'm adding 1.2 ml of vodka a day based on a 300 net gallon volume. Works out to 12 drops in the morning and 12 in the evening. Usually takes me a week to get this much black skim mate so....... I think it's working. My tests yielded: Alk - 7.5 Po4 - .07 Na - 30 So no dent yet, I'm supposed to do this same dose for a few days then start ramping it up until the nitrates start to fall. Then hold steady.

  3. Prices are updated for individual fixtures and all 3 with hanging setup together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. They are 6' fixtures so 72". I'm looking for more color and pop from my SPS. It grows all coral well, and colors up good. I'm just looking for the next level. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I ordered my new lights today, they should be in early next week and at that point these will officially be for Sale. If you're interested, make me an offer.
  6. Tests yeild: Alk - 7.33 Check Po4 - .07 On its way down NA - 30 WTF! I can't figure out what's causing the Nitrates. From me and Ty's discussions, I may have had a Bacterial die off when my Bio Pellet reactor pump kept getting clogged. I did pull out some black bio pellets at that point that smelled HORRIBLE! They've been running fine for about a month now with more pellets and I just recently put a better pump on the reactor so those won't be an issue again, but that's all I can think of. I've: 1.) Cleaned the Return Pumps 2.) Cleaned the Sump 3.) Cleaned the Live Rock section of the Sump 2 times 4.) Moved the filter pad in a more efficient location. 5.) Siphoned the gravel in both tanks 6.) Done 3 30g or slightly more Water Changes I'm thinking that the Bio Pellets haven't Colonized yet since the pump failure. What I've decided to do is start lightly dosing vodka until they come online. I looked up alot of info on it and have a chart to go by. I'm supposed to test every few days as I go until I start seeing the Nitrates start to drop. I figure this is only until the Bio Pellets start to take effect. I'm going to keep it light, and make sure not to overdose. I just made a huge investment into the Health of my Coral, and I want to make sure the chemistry is right also!
  7. Lights are on the way! Ordered: 2 ATI 3607 36" LED/T5 Hybrid Powermodules 10 Blue Plus Bulbs 4 Aqua Blue Special Bulbs 4 Coral Plus Bulbs 2 Purple Plus Bulbs 5 Vortech Quiet Drive Upgrades Expensive day!
  8. And I'll bet that's because either way, they don't actually come from the Site, they come from ATI. So cheaper for both parties. Idk, politics I'm sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I thought about that and checked. PA is free shipping (2 day to Austin!) and price matched something from Aquacave already. They want that business! Haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. It's saving me $470! I'll take it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Lol, so I think I just made some friendly competition between premium Aquatics and Aquacave. I emailed premium aquatics and asked them if they were going to have a sale and that Aquacave had already announced theirs. His reply was yes and what was I ordering. The sale at Premium aquatics is now 11% off compared to Aquacave's 10%. Haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. 10% off at Aquacave! Yes!!!!!! That's gonna save like $400
  13. I have a $5 off cupon for brs They don't carry the hybrid.... [emoji19] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Sites are either waiting to last minute for the July 4 sales, or not having them, patience is not a virtue for me...... They need to hurry up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Mines happy! [emoji6] Your tank or your wallet...? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. My wallet is going to be pissed at me..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I have decided that I will be getting the ATI Hybrid Powermodule. Waiting for the Sales to start for July 4th to pull the trigger. We redid my BRS tank cover to fit into the rim of the tank. The Dremel was a huge help, which I didn't have when we originally built it. Also got a stronger pump for my Bio Pellets so their tumble should never falter again. I'm also going to pickup the new MP40 Quiet Drive upgrades for each of my MP40s. Well see how much difference they make. I got a new Nitrate test in today and ran it. Says I have 30 ppm just like Ty kept seeing. Baffles me. How the H.0239ur0 do I have 30 PPM nitrates?! Phosphates tested at .06 today which is the lowest it's been in a while. Hopefully i'm rounding the corner on that. I need to find someone who wants these BMLs!
  18. I will be ordering my new T-5 lights during the July 4 sales and will have these for sale shortly. They grow and color up LPS and Softies great. I've had great growth out of my SPS also but I'm looking for more. 1 6' Super Actinic XB BML - $495 retail : asking $250 1 6' 12K BML - $389 retail : asking $200 1 6' 20K (Radium) XB BML - $483 retail : Asking $250 Depending on what I need for my new lights, I may be able to sell the hanging setup with them. Let me know if you'd like it. Pm or post with any questions or offers Prices are listed for each individual fixture. I'll sell them all with the hanging setup for $700. That's $717 off retail and the cost of the hanging setup.
  19. Ordered some new CUC from reef cleaners. It shipped yesterday but arrived in Austin today, however they weren't going to deliver until tomorrow. I spoke with customer service of USPS and they gave me the number of the sort facility. I spoke with a floor manager there who was able to locate the package and pull it for me. When I arrived, she told me to call her because she had some questions. She was very interested in how the fish and CUC were shipped and how they could work better to take care of those packages when they receive them. Good job USPS. Can't say the same for UPS.....

  20. I even thought about 1 4' and 3' for complete coverage, the bulbs would get more difficult to interchange
  21. Trust, if a 6' option was there, I'd be all over it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
