You don't need a Digital timer do you? Got one at Depot like 2 months ago, even got the instructions and still could never figure it out so i just got the manual kind. Or any others if they want it, Its Free!

Sure we could work something out:)

I got him at YR like 7 months ago!
 
Thanks! But I have 2 I use and a spare :)

LMK about the exquisite if you decide to part with it. I love those fish.

edit: just read your post.

Cool. Let me know.

I bought one there last year but it jumped :(


I then covered my tank with eggcrgate..
 
Probably the same time. I remember there were 2 there when i got it, $49.99.

How bout just get me a nice big Hawaiian cleaner wrasse like yours when Exotic gets them and we will call it a day
 
I think I can swing that (if I can find one).

I'll call up there and see if they're expecting a new shipment anytime soon.

Mike, sorry I missed this.

Thanks man! Wish you were local!!!!

You'd have to switch over to a sharks fan though :p
 
Tank is full and the return is running :D Tunze's are in there too.

It looks like I did something right as there are no leaks.......... yet :)

I dumped some salt in before I went to sleep last night. Prolly put some more in here in a little bit.
 
Sweet. :dance:

Are you getting some new live rock today so it can start cycling? Alicia and Brian are coming up from Napa today and I have to stop by the auction for a few to make an appearance, but I'm down :D

Did you ever make it over to Aquaworkz to check out their LR? I can meet you over there later.

Which has better par? Helio 20k 250 or radium 20k 250?

What ballast runs the Helio best?

Helios 250w SE will probably have less par then the 250w SE Radium. Sanjay hasn't tested it, so I'm only guessing.

The Helios is a probe start bulb, so M58's or electronics are best for it.

As far as PAR goes, IMO it's over rated. There's way more to these corals then just lighting them. The 12k Reeflux got terrible numbers according to Sanjay's test. Some of the best SPS tanks around here run them. ;)

I don't have to be local. You just have to take a lot of pictures. :p

I love hockey. I root for a lot of teams, but my heart is with the Blackhawks. I will NOT root for a Canadien team though. :lol: I subscribe to Center Ice, so I get to see all the teams play. If
you're a fan of the sport it's well worth the $200.
 
I also really like the Reeflux 12K's. Have seen a few tanks with them, and both the color is pleasing to my eye and corals look great.
 
Well that sucks that the reeflux are nice bulbs. 12k sounds like an ideal Kelvin, I just never heard of the brand, so I went with 14k hamiltons =( Hopefully these hamiltons dont end up too blue for me.
 
Joe,

Jim owns the hammy 14K and a reeflux 12k. He could probably tell you which he liked.

Aquaconnect 14K sounds like a great bulb
