Which store did you go to?

Lookin' good thus far. Would it be possible to use wider lenses on the colors that you have less of to give a wider spread? Might help to eliminate some of the bad color banding juju.

THIS IS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS

No me gusta, sir. It's hard to justify the cost for a heater controller (apex, etc) but all it takes is one wipeout to make you change your mind. Godspeed.

You are correct, this is a big no-no.

I can probably swing that. Shoot me a reminder text at like 1030. ill pm you my phone number.

do yall have any emerald crabs in stock?

oh i have the iphone app and use it religiously. i didnt get a display unit. thanks for the tip!

You are the mcguyver of QT tanks. Looks great bro.

bump for a great price on ecotechs. if you don thave them you need them.

I could potentially help depending on time. I live south. When were you thinking?

can you post the code to get your apex to show in your sig?

Lookin good. I've got a Jackson myself. They're trouble makers i tell ya! Tank looks like it is progressing nicely. WRT to LED dimming, are you using a standalone controller or an apex?

hahaha. did management (wife) get on you about it??

really good little skimmer. did you upgrade your nano?

I've got the standards (12x2).

Now if you can just make me a mini apex out of acrylic, we can call it a day.

Simple but effective. Looking forward to build pics

What aquifier are you getting chlorinated solvents from? I use Trinity Aquifier water straight out of the ground into my reef tanks.Why does ground water have chlorinated solvents? Patrick Surficial aquifers. You would be astounded at the quantity of shallow groundwater contamination that we have statewide as a result of heavy industry and oil and gas production. Luckily it only rarely affects the deep stuff that we use for water supply. And to answer the why, it was standard operating procedure to store wastewater in unlined pits.

What are you planning on using to dim? If you use an apex, you dont even need to power them via the eb8, and can simply use the dimmer to control the on/off. You also wont get that annoying bright flash on power down.

**** sooner, i refuse to answer you question! Does that answer your question? Meh, the petroleum geologists make about double my salary, but I get to live in austin instead of houston. I consider it a worthy trade. Bio3/Chris - Honestly, I'm not sure. Is the extra step you're referring to letting it dry prior to cranking up the heat? If so, it seems to me that the heating process is going to drive off the water anyway, unless there is some other reaction happening that I'm not aware of. My preference is to toss the stuff anyway.

This is an adventurous build I think you may run into some difficulty dialing in your colors without being able to control each color "channel" independently. I'll follow along and help when and where i can. Good luck!

Hydrogeologist here, so i'm pretty comfortable with the subject matter. I have a groundwater treatment system that uses 55 gallon drums filled with activated carbon to remove chlorinated solvents from groundwater. You *can* bake out the contaminants, but only a certain subset of contaminants are able to be removed via thermal destruction. Things that fall into the class of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) will come out very readily in that temperature range. However, heavy metals will *not* come out as a result of increased heat. The kinds of things that I would personally be concerned about in my tank would include both VOCs as well as heavy metals. Given the relatively low cost of carbon, I would personally be inclined to toss the stuff and replace. Although the tropic of the thread was technically "can carbon be resued", the answer is yes, albeit with caveats. Whether or not this is the best management practice for reefing depends entirely on your risk tolerance as well as risk tolerance from your wife beating you to death for spending more money on your tank

Seconded the capacitor. If the ballast and bulbs are new, the cap is all that is left really. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?lt1cco
