Well I ordered new doors. I got them in black - and I'm getting one routered to flush mount my B2 inside the door. It looks really cool - I stole the idea from a guy (MikeD) who has a 160 thread over in the Elos forum. His is brown on black - Jesse had black doors in so I thought the black on black (B2 is black) would look seemless. My silicone is black as well. These specialty routering machines are pretty cool, like a CNC machine for woodworkers. My son touches EVERYTHING so I'm hoping there is a lock feature on the B2, otherwise I'll put a pet shock pad in front of the tank. :lol:
New sump will probably get here next week also, really stoked about that! Hopefully the doors will come on that shipment.
Regarding the light ... Thanks everyone for the comments, here and via PM. I have received a lot of emails/PM's asking about Sfiligoi. Obviously there are several RC users that have good experiences with them. Will said I was one of three people having this problem. Every company has some products that fail. I just hope it doesn't take me as long as it took Chad to get a working light.
Erics3000 - unfortunately these are specialty fuses (of course). Its 5x20mm, 15A, 250V - they CAN be found, but not locally. I spend two afternoons driving all over trying the big stores like Lowes to Ace to Radio Shack to specialty lighting stores. My GC can get them but they are pricey for him.
Yeah - I know its not the fuses - its the fixture. I haven't demanded anything from Reefgeek/AO/Sfiligoi. Just nicely asked for a light that works. It was almost a month that I owned this fixture before I even mentioned the problem on the boards. Reefgeek has been awesome as you can see. They even sent me the T5 ballast + plug for free. What sucks is that this light thing has TOTALLY taken over a really good thread and really kinda deflated this whole tank experience.
Anyway - yeah I'm really happy with my LPS. My SPS are still ****y because I keep changing lights. It was dumb to hang the fixture yesterday, only to have to take it down.
One other bummer is that Reefgeek no longer carries Sfiligoi (I wonder why), so its not like I could even exchange the fixture.
And on the the GOOD news .... DRUMROLL PLEASE ...
I will take detailed photos, maybe even some video of putting these in (if the first one blows).
. Well that's what they keep saying anyway. I wonder if that pony express guy got mugged transporting those shiney new high tech fuses. What would street value on something like that be ?
