    The Cost Of LEDs

    Back in the "day" I was building 100w chip LED's for about $50-60 per... that's at consumer prices. I've also worked on some LED stuff for the government and will be going to space soon... Eventually I got my business license and made agreements within the industry (I've been to the coral/fish...

    Best heater?

    BRS Titanium Heater (needs controller of course, I use my Apex, many suggest using Inkbird or other alternative as the switching on / off will wear out the relay, and replacing an inkbird is cheaper than replacing Apex). I would suggest moving one temp probe to the DT. I did it just like you...

    Water Temperature Mix Reef with Fish

    Probably their heater thermostat malfunctioned and killed everything :( I hope not, but I hear that far too often.

    Tearing down my tank!

    I just over-feed my fish so much that I need them! I have a golden angel that is so afraid if I don't drop in two cubes a day I wonder if it'll eat at all... (I also have a AFS that feeds about 5 times a day, but I never see the angel go up for the pellets, the rest of the fish are in a frenzy...

    Tearing down my tank!

    I can't imagine removing my rollermat ever. That thing picks up so much garbage. Probably the best thing thing I've bought for a tank as long as I can remember. I did remove my media reactors last year though.

    Water Temperature Mix Reef with Fish

    In my Coral / Invert QT tank I run it at 80 so that it helps speed up that process.

    Tearing down my tank!

    Re: Aiptasia Certainly very hard, but I've succeeded. Just took removing all the fish and substrate and throwing 50+ peppermints at it. Within the first week every visible aiptasia was gone, after two months there was only a few peppermints left and no aiptasia (going on a year later now, and...

    Mass Death at HOA Pond

    Agreed, I think it's just a "cover my *********" message. Although I don't know if it was them. Most of me thinks its the yard maintenance group as they come on Mondays and it was reported later that afternoon. I question if they were spraying pesticide and too much got into the water for it to...

    Mass Death at HOA Pond

    My HOA’s pond had a lot of fish (based on the Facebook thread it was catfish and fingerling catfish along with turtles). I saw a lot of birds around the pond but I didn’t see for myself The HOA reached out to the pond management company and this is what they wrote: Obviously people don’t...

    Petco

    Thanks, picked up a couple. For those that want a link: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/instant-ocean-reef-crystal-reef-salt Not the best price, amazon had the 200g for a tad less ($35 iirc), but I swear the ones in the cardboard / bags get hard and don't dissolve after some...

    Any Machinists On Here?

    CNC would do a pretty good job, you just have to run a small bit to clean up the corners. Now as far as the kerf taper angle some of the newer machines have new techniques to reduce the amount. We just got a new WardJet that I think has some ability, but we aren't too well trained on it...

    Any Machinists On Here?

    CNC it with many many passes? I have access to waterjet, but never cut steel that thick... I mostly cut thin aluminum (.062 to .500), plastic, and wood. Rarely steel. The waterjet would also have a significant taper at that thickness. If you haven't found anything yet, I can ask around to...
