mordibv's nano

Removed 12 frags today but came home with a 6 head acan frag and some Macro algae
revive etc .. odds and ends .
Lowered the mount bar for the led unit . Still waiting on the 60 degree optics .
The mount ba only lowers the led 2 more inches . It's as close as I can get to the overflow box without the led mount getting wet .

Sounds like time to ditch out on the existing and get radion!

What do I need a Radion for ? LOL.. do u not see that mini LB which is hosting a 250 watt Helios 20k bulb on a dimmable ballast ,,, I can change the color too .... LOL . I will give my 50 watt cree unit with the new optics a chance when Jon @ SB get's them in . I emailed him @ 1030 PM est and bam he responded just like that . I guess SB is on track again . Kudos to Jon @ SB lighting .


Nah . I'll let u be the guinea pig on that one . ;) .U need to take lots of pic's and give us the 411 on that unit . :beer:

LOL, ok!
 
Well the recent snow storm hit me hard . A power inverter failed to keep the heater running . I did have battery pumps running with airstones the whole time . We had no heat , electricity and ran out of hot water . 40 hours plus downtime . Have insurance but really don't know if it's worth the time to file it .
I picked up another one and within twenty minutes the power came back on .

Slowly raised the temps back up over 14 hours . Did a 5 gallon water change of same tank temp mixed for 12 hrs .
Counted at least 10 + frags bleached out .
Have the leds on the tank did not want to hit the corals with the halide .

May just do a complete breakdown and start on the new build if things get worse .
 
Well,
Things are finally mellowing out. I did get an email from SB led. They are sending out the 60 degree optics upgrade I have been waiting for.
Any who it is a nice upgrade that I felt would greatly improve the units capabilities.

This thread comes to an end. Tank and stand are sold. Too many losses to count.
I will be back soon with another build.
Won't be a nano but i'll hang out in the sps forums atm for more inspiration ...

Later P

Hey I have sunbrite slimline regular one on my 57 gallon illuminate, I have 2 over it, But the tip of the metal part are touching the water, and its been 6 months now and the colors are little bleached? I don't see any sign of brown rustiness on it, but do you know if this units are submergible? They told me they were when i first bough it directly from sunbrite at a local reef event
 
Yeah I heard they were but I never took the chance with mine . I saw another user that has eaten all the paint off his where it was in the water . I say id the corals are fine then no worries .
 
Bummer to hear the tank is taken down, and sorry again for your losses. Look forward to your next build though!!
