Hi Roberto, That is one sick controller you are building there! I don't think I am brave enough to go that far. Even though gradual dimming with a controller for sunrise/sunset is very cool, I don't think I really need it. So for my ELN-60-48D, I just built a simple manual 1-10v voltage...

Richard, we are pretty far away from each other (I am in Cupertino), or I would be happy to do something together with you. I do not know what it was, but I got this strong itch to do something about my lights starting 2 to 3 months ago. At the beginning, everything sounds so out of this...

Thanks a lot Gresham, I am in Cupertino.

I am constantly changing my plan, but believe I finalized it now. I am going to use four pieces of solid aluminum bar screwed onto a 12"x7.29" aluminum heatsink as the complete light fixture. Since everything is exposed and nothing will be hidden in lighting box, it has to look nice and solid...

Wish you best luck Phong.

Thanks Gresham for the info! The lighting fixture is for a 12G nano tank, and it is only about 12" long. Will this be large for anodizing? The lighting fixture is basically a large heat sink for the LED, and I am hoping that I do not need to put a fan on top of it for better look. I know...

Hi Jim, Beautiful tank. I have 3 50G water tanks in the garage (they were used to hold vinegar and were prettyt cheap, bought in San Meteo a long time ago. Stay away from the containers for oil since they will be very difficult to clean). I use one tank to hold RO/DI, one tank for...

I am trying to make a aluminum frame for a DIY LED ligth, and want to buy some 3" square tubes and 1" thick 2" width flat bars. Does anyone know where I can buy it locally? Also, to make it look nice, I like to anodize them black if it is not too expensive, does anyone know a local shop that can...

Algea is more likely to grow under sunlight.

Hi Sergio, if you are interested in one more piece of superman, I can trade you one for a frag of 20k lokani.

It's yours Erick. Can you come and pick up tonight before it runs away (I am not kidding, it moves fast)? Give me a call at 650-210-6797.

I just saw this posting, and I happens to find one last one yeterday (only one). How about a deep discount for a BAR member, say, free? First come, first serve. This is the traditional multi-colored mini-carpet anemone, and it get up to a silver dollar size.

Thanks Phong! I thought you said this somewhere, but couldn't find it anymore. Another thing, I hate to deal with the bender if I have a choice, and am thinking about just buy some pre-threaded conduits and elbows and endcaps to make the bends and cap the ends. Do you see any problem with this?

I am thinking about using conduit to make a light box hanger. The light box will be 30"x30", and it will be made of wood and have a 250w MH, two 24" VHO, and 2 24" T5HO in it. I am thinking about using two conduit from HD, and am a little confused about what size I should use. 1/2" conduit looks...

I bought 6 at BAYMAC at impulse. But my tank is so crowded, so far I can only squeeze two onto the side of the tank. Well, I will wait until my new tank is set up before stuck more into the tanks. Overall, it works well. But somehow either my fish or my turbo snails manage to pull some of the...

What does EA stand for? Very nice, but I think I have the same already, just do not know the name :).

Not to mention that Eric now can bump up the number of SPSs in his tank by 10x with that new calcium reactor :).

Thanks Phong for the heads up. Since Ian was telling me that I should be using Krylon for intank painting, I am sticking with the brand. This morning I called OSH and asked about spry paint, the guy over the phone told me they carry Rust-Oleum. When I insisted on the Krylon, the guy got upset...

Is there any place local to find Krylon fusion spray paint? I checked HD, Lowes, Sears, and Orchard Supply, and none of them carries it :(.

Perry, you are right. I bought one from DA 2 hours ago, and am debating if I should buy another one (I have two nanos, one at home, and one at office).
