Mark's 180 Starfire upgrade

Btw, I am first and foremost a coral nut. Fish are secondary to me, unlike you two fish freaks!

anti-tbone crusader = anti-tang crusader

Hell yeah!!

One reason. Just my luck! I will never get any freaking tang again!

^ take it easy on the rookie :wavehand:

You're right Terry, but I fixed Sang's post for the rest of us :thumbsup:

Thanks. There are still a few corals trying to decide what they want to do, but all in all, things are getting back to normal.

As for the LED's, they are a really cool addition as they are just another toy to play with :thumbsup:

Good to hear the tank is doing a little better. I might have missed it but, what LED did you go with?

Hey Brian, I made an impulse purchase of a single 72" SunBrite LED strip. I could not find another 72" option that worked with my current canopy design. Needless to say, I like the effects :thumbsup:

What can you do with LED strip? I have a couple of GHL bars, tons of fun!:wavehand:

Nice, I talked with Joy last week. SunBrite has some nice options at a good price.

Joy and I spoke at Baymac and I just couldn't convince her to produce a 72". I have a feeling that I might try to get to 36" lights and a double ended screw the next time I get bored and want a new project. Right now, I'm still in "coral recovery mode".

Is this Joy Meadows of Harbor Aquatics? She's an awesome lady! It's too bad Gary passed away. He was a super guy who would talk your ears off.

Yep, she was with PFO after Harbor Aquatics stopped. Man they use to have the nice clams around.

 

[Maximus]

Wow, I never knew Joy was part of PFO. Damn, no wonder why I liked PFO so much!

How much for the 36" Led strip? Is their a site that I can see some pics of it?

Do you plan on replacing your vho's for led strips?

I believe Premium has them on their site, but they are hitting more and more sites. I'm not planning on replacing my vho's. They are all both on the tank now so there is no need for one or the other at the point :thumbsup:

 

[john90009]

mark which vho bulbs do you use?

 

[mpoletti]

Super actinic

 

[DanW]

Mark how would you compare the effect between LEDs and VHOs? Do you think that they provide a similar effect? With more and more success stories and data available I'm seriously looking into LEDs as a replacement to my current set-up.

 

[mpoletti]

Dan, they are two very different and distinctive looks and I like the look. LED's provide something you can't get in vhos and vhos' provide something you can't get in LED's. I like having the option of both

Nice setup

I have seen your beautiful pictures all over RC, but I never found the build thread because I didn't frequent the Large Tank Forum that much. Now that i have found it I can say that i am even more impressed, this is a wonderful setup! It was sad to hear about the troubles you've been having recently, but you and the tank seem to be pulling through. I hope my future large tank will end up having as much success!
