Thanks everyone for the help and advice. Aquanut I have a 150 jäger in there temporarily. Seems like everything is okay. Did a small water change with the water I took out of the tank yesterday. As luck would have it used all my premixed water doing a change last night. Gotta mix more up...

Thanks Spoon. My dad said the fish look good so far except for the acan he knocked over and put back the the return nozzle he knocked off. How the hell that all happened when the heater is in the back sump I have no idea. Even my Royal Gramma was out and he always hides so hopefully...

Does anyone have suggestions on a better heater? the one that fried is a Cobalt neo-therm 200W.

Spoon/Fidel thanks for your replies. I leave for work early in the morning so I didn't get a chance to do a thorough check. I had my dad pull the heater and it is melted! Spoon you did warn me about this but as the heater was pretty expensive and I couldn't buy another one I left it and hoped...

Spoon good thought I will have my dad pull the heater and check it.

So last night I did my weekly water change and switched out the ATO reservoir. I added a 2-1/2 tbsp of kalk+2 to the 5 gallon reservoir. Spectrapure UPLC II adds water for 4sec and off for 6 sec and turns on when the return chamber on my JBJ RL 45 drops about 1/4". This morning I woke up and...

Apon & Dezil it was good to meet y'all today I hope the tickets were luckier for you than they were for me.

Welcome. That's a slick setup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jess I am hoping to make it to the shop on Sunday so maybe you could show me.

Good to know around 50% is what I like visually. I was reading the Kessil site and it seems like they are stating that it doesn't matter where you have your spectrum the light is providing the essential needs for corals. Am I reading this correct? From the Kessil A360 page: "Tunable Spectrum...

Jess, Enderturtle, & Kris thanks so much for the responses. It seems intensity varies greatly and I will have to figure out what is ideal for my corals. Another question though. What is everyone's blue white mix? I notice that my Acans seems to like it more blue and my birdsnest seems to...

Thanks to tr1gger for the green birdsnest frag I picked up yesterday. The the green polyps really pop.

Thanks so much tr1gger it was nice to meet you. I am upset that the kids nixed my opportunity to see your tank in person. I spent all my summers on the pier until I was 17. I would walk there from Westmoor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Mike it was a tough decision to put myself out there but so far it's been great.

Nav they do come with a controller and I was under the same impression as you but the controller only has 3 settings the lowest being 50% which is still a ton cuz these are really powerful. If you get the power adapter apparently you can drop the power thru the entire range from 0-100%. I think...

Nav I actually returned it for store credit. I asked Matt at Aqua Exotic to let me know when he can get the RW-8 since it can be tuned down without a power adapter. The WP-25 seemed do powerful I was worried I'd have a sandstorm. Matt has one running on a 30 gal but he has a good bit of rock...

Tr1gger I'll take one please.

So my unbelievable family got me a great Father's Day gift. They are the best. They also got me a beautiful Royal Gramma which my wife named Queen Elizabeth and my twins are calling Liz. Sometimes being unoriginal is still funny.

F6553066, thanks I will be sure to keep asking y'all are great with the advice.

Thanks all for the responses. Devon my tank is only 19" deep (about 18" of water) I definitely want to go the controller route just need to save some funds so I can get one. When I asked Matt at Aqua Exotic he runs the Kessils on his SPS frag tank for 100% for 1 hour but that is a shallow tank.
