That is all I have to say about that!

Thanks

AWESOME! B-E-A-U-TIFAL!!! That brain is gorgeous, what is it exactly? Also what camera do you use for your pictures?

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

Thanks. I don't know a specific name for the brain other than that it may be aussie. I feel like the FTS is incomplete though cause my red plate coral is in rehab from tissue loss. But anyways, I use a Nikon D80.

Great thank you for the info, fun stuff, I stared at your bongo shrimp for what seemed like forever! I love this hobby!

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

Haha thanks. I'll keep you guys updated with the lights. For now I am going to be pushing the lights up 10% each week until I get to 100% intensity. This way I don't melt anything.

I got my Rio 6HF installed and it fits good as long as you remove the plastic grate piece on the front intake side. It is just a tad bit louder than stock but I feel that it is worth it. I have a Y fitting coming of my return and the added flow works great with it.

How much did you get it for?

I added a hydor rotating deflector so I am wondering if the rio will shoot water out the top of my tank when the deflector points up... this will be interesting, lol. I should be able to pick it up at the LFS on thursday so that will be fun. Is the grate just glued in like the other biocube parts, i.e. was it easy to remove?

Also someone PM'd me about eggcrate but went to my email and I don't know who they are, but to answer the question egg-crate is available at most home-improvement places in the lighting department.

Let's just say it was a lot more than a biocube.

 

[N-dog]

I want the exact same thing! I know the standard kit is 5 something. So you're not going to tell?

Sweet. I like it.

I'll tell you it was more than five but I don't give out exact numbers.

? Why all the secrecy?

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

Not to sound mean but my money, my business. How much did you say your house was? I'm seriously not trying to sound mean here but if you want to know, call up nanotuners and ask.

 

[fstar25]

Bongo!!!! I blame you for delaying my LED order further. After looking at yours I realized that I could not live with the edison strip LEDs as the blue/white color mixing would not make me happy. So I called up nanotuners (probably not before they had already custom cnc'd my heatsnik for the 6 strips I wanted) and switch to the Cree LEDS on starts so I can do the alternating blue/white pattern. Grrrrrr

 

[chrssprngs]

Just busting your chops Bongo. Very easy to price. I looked at doing the same on my 14 but opted on the 3.24 instead. Love the look of the LEDs though. I am experimenting with the SPSs and the 3.24. So far the corals are responding well. I have a cap frag at about six inches deep that is showing nice signs of growth and an encrusting Monti at the bottom of the tank that stays real fuzzy so I am assuming that it is content with the amount of light. Good luck with the new hood. Wondering if you need to go 100%......

 

[fstar25]

I think Bongo needs to get a par meter, because I don't think he will ever need to run at 100% :O
