  1. That's the best you could do?! Weaksauce.
  2. looks amazing. ill bring the beer if you bring the party.
  3. anyone have a link to them? just want to make sure the ones that I'm seeing are legit.
  4. Get out of here with your logic and your common sense.
  5. I'm looking for some of the black eggrate to do a small frag rack. In addition, where does everyone source their reef safe magnets? gracias.
  6. sounds like either a bad GFCI, incorrect wiring, or something on the circuit that is causing the GFCI to fail. If you don't wire them up correctly, you don't get GFCI protection, so you have to make sure that it's done right. If you're not confident, it's one of those things that may be worth having a pro do. Good luck!
  7. i would think so, because there wouldn't be any electrical connection between the two bodies of water. could be wrong though, just a guess.
  8. The EB8 is the energy bar for the apex, can't use the eb8 without the apex.
  9. No, my friend works as a biologist, and not in the chemistry dept at the city. She pointed me in the right direction, but I got sidetracked.
  10. For the apex you don't *need* to get a splitter. What juiceman was talking about was if you want to conserve outlets on the apex EB8, and they all have the same on/off sequence, you can use one EB8 outlet split 3 ways instead of using 3 redundant outlets on the EB8 that you could be using for other timed purposes. As for everything else, you've got a handle on it.
  11. it's not stringy, it's more of a covering. we'll see how she looks today after the conchs have done some mowing. I'm forever optimistic.
  12. picked up 2 small conchs at AD yesterday. We'll try livestock before i start getting my(self) tank drunk.
  13. seriously, just roll over to rolands with $100 and you will be the happiest reefer in town.
  14. Yeah, that's precisely what we're talking about. You can't dim below 10% on most drivers, and if you do it just shuts the fixture off. However on the BMLED fixture, when you're at 0% it actually ramps up to 100% if I understand this correctly. This is so that people who don't want to dim have the ability to run their fixtures at full clip and just adjust brightness via increasing height from the tank surface.
  15. sounds like a pretty sweet option. keep us posted.
  16. Yeah, that's what I was getting at. Theresa, if you do choose to go the typhon route (or any of the other 0-10v controllers) instead of apex, what you're going to have to do is use the dimmer to achieve the sunrise/sunset, AND have a manual timer that cuts off when you want the lights to go off. As it stands right now, you can only dim down to 10%, but you can't "dim" them off, so you have to have an old school timer turn the things off manually.
  17. Right, but you can't put it at 0% and turn off via the voltage (to preserve an outlet), you have to manually remove power from the driver. Is this correct?
  18. did they ever get the driver issue ironed out chris? If not, I'd stay away from the aftermarket LED dimmers, because the signal that BMLED uses to tell the fixture to turn off is different than virtually all other fixtures.
