Great start, this is gonna be good!

Must confess I tried golf and hated it! Now heroin on the other hand... I would really consider my tank dimensions - the real estate you have for 'scaping means so much. Remember your corals will grow (hopefully!) so don't make the rockwork the focus - unless you are like me and really...

Taken up golf...it would have been cheaper!

Jim, a dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste!

I use the plastic coated from K & J. I don't coat them...

Yeah, I make the drive but really enjoy the BAR crew. Don't make every meeting - usually about 4 a year. I would say the heat on the lights would be about like a 150 W MH - maybe a bit less? At 16 inches over the tank they raise the tank a whopping zero degrees. Of course, no canopy to...

Stray Light Optical does have plasmas in production. Great people to work with, and a product that really does a fantastic job. Agreed that they draw more power than LEDs, but even at full power only draw 290 watts. I have had good luck at 50%, currently max is at 60% so they are drawing less...

Depending on what you want, two plasmas do the trick. Mine have a practical footprint of 4 x 2 - unless you are looking at SPS to bottom, then 2 x 2. Mine are 16 inches over the top of a 20 inch tank and are doing fine as you can see. I concentrate the high lights SPS in the middle but have...

Located in Visalia,CA - always willing to talk lights!

Thanks Jess, there are a few others but I'm pretty sure mine is the oldest. I started with Beta. Erosion lights three or four months before the first production models. Hoping to make it by your place after the meeting, have some room for goodies and would love to see your shop!

Couple new pics... RockRack - 12 frag plug version The "Lab" Magnetic goodies A couple Zoa Islands taking a sump soak...

Couple more from this evening New Wire Coral Clowns are mad - just fed their nem so it is scrunched up...

Thanks! Funny. I just fragged the heck out of those montis - Jim has a chunk of the confusa. LMK if you want frags of either the purple rim or confusa, I can bring them to the meeting. A bit browned out from growing in the shadows but both are quick growers (at least under plasmas)

Tank is 72x24x20 - 150 gallons o fun! Thanks for the kind words!

Been a long time... P

I say show it off - looks pretty darn sweet!

Very nice!

Over the years, I have done plenty of same day tank upgrades. I have even done complete rescapes in tanks without even taking out be fish - just kept the corals damp while the Emaco cured. I usually have a five gallon bucket of fresh saltwater to "rinse" each piece of live rock before putting...

Video would be fine with me...you can always use it to scare the children if they misbehave.

Nice!
