Sheesh. Probably cost u $3k a year in electricity and bulbs to run.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against trade names. It's just when trade names get forced on eeeeeeverything is what makes me roll eyes. Speaking of fakes, anyone want to guess this one is? Bought a tiny frag as an amazeballs. Grew out to a colony and is not an amazeballs. But it's ok, I still...

If anyone is looking for a top tier plug and play system, this is it! I've seen one in person and the attention to design on these UNS R systems are impeccable.

I for one actually wish the hobby put more emphasis on identifying the genus AND species rather than a maui wowie ding dang holy grail splice name :) My pet peeve is when people try to attach a lineage name to something they didn't even buy as named and just look for something close enough...

Wait.. are u having a zen moment and out of the collector acro game?? :O I know your stance before was "don't name it if it's not lineaged", which I actually agree with.

So the line from the RODI unit already goes straight into the ATO reservoir? If you put a solenoid inline you can just leave the sink valve on and use the solenoid to start and stop the water flow. I have the XP Flood Guardian hooked up between my unit and ATO reservoir. I can remotely turn the...

Try Tap Plastics, there's one in San Rafael. They can do any custom acrylic work.

The disappointing part of this hobby no one warns you about. Running out of coral space that you can no longer go shopping at CFM :( I'll enjoy the new finds through you guys, they look great!

The only downside is that I cannot move it up and down, only back and forth, so you have to get it right the first time mounting to the wall, or hang the lights from the rail so they're adjustable. If this was a smaller lighter setup, I would've considered the monitor arms that use a gas piston...

Refund sent

How are they with temperature fluctuations outside especially with summer around the corner? Ironically when I just dumped a bottle of them in tupperware and ignored them, they multiplied like crazy for weeks. Then the last 2 attempts where I tried to actually raise them, my culture crashed. I...

I calculated the cost recoup time of investing in carx vs two part and it was just under two years, so I wouldn't say carx is money savings until you run it for a couple years. That includes the annual cost of co2 and media refill. My calculation also factors in that I got a pretty good deal on...

If you have an ap9x or 360x with wifi dongle, you can do a direct wifi connection with apex. https://help.neptunesystems.com/downloads/docs/IoTa-Kessil_A360X_and_AP9X_User_Guide.pdf Using that cable for 0-10v control will not allow you to adjust the additional color channels (violet, red...

Never thought I'd see the day

FYI this coral is also referenced as ATL Purple Rain. ATL being Atlantis Aquarium that was a store in Fremont in the 90s/2000s and was a big acro collector. Here's mine that I also got from Tin.
