Anybody else having any problems with their fixtures? One of my G2 230W the blues will not turn off. You can push the button and the LED on the PS will turn off, but the blue LED's stay on. Has anyone any experience with warranty service from Maxspect? 5.5 months old, already a problem. DOH!!

How long ar the feeding sweepers?

WOW!! I am surprised those two could coexist for any length of time in a BC. I must be understocked!! Off to the fish store for a couple dozen more fish. ;)

Depends on if the Panther THINKS he can get his mouth around the head of the eel. If he does, I would put my $$ on the Panther. I am thinking that no way could you have those two together in a BC. I bet the person selling it has at least one BIG tank and he is wanting to get rid of the...

I agree. The other issues with shoals of Chromis is that they will gang up on other fish as a team. Cardinals do not do this. I should shoot some video for you of a shoal of chromis attacking a BIG Citrine GOby to steal his food in a coordinated attack. It is pretty cool to watch, but I am...

+1 Everything I read, not what I see on the news points to TO as the actual outfit that is responsible for the mistakes that some people say led to where we are today. It is hard to know what the truth is honestly, definitely not much but propaganda in the news media reports...... It is...

I bet things get interesting at feeding time.:Yikes:

When you add the live sand, just do it a pint glass at a time and don't rinse it. You just scoop up a pint glass full, then dip the whole glass in salt water in a bucket. Then when you put it in your tank, hold your hand over the top of the glass, invert the glass and right at the bottom of...

I am sure you will be VERY happy.

It may be the difference between having 2 30W LED's on each 160 and having 4 on the 230 maybe? That 93 Cube is 30 inches wide so with the two fixtures about 8.5" apart it puts each pair of 30W LED's about 11 inches apart. On the 230 the 4 30W Chips are a lot closer to each other. I guess it...

Thanks for the info Kathy. I have a lot of fish to feed, I think I am going to try a block. Sure beats the cost of feeding all Rod's Food which is getting expensive for us. Thank you.

Wife got home from a business trip last night and LOVES them. Here are some photos I took with my cell, they are not very good but you can get the idea. They have a great shimmer like MH's do but they run MUCH cooler than the Nova Extreme Pro fixtures they are replacing. I have glass canopies...

I have gone by the directions on the Tech-M label. You test Mg first, then dose accordingly. I would not exceed the daily dosing recommended on the label which means I had to dose a number of days to get the Mg level up slowly. I also kept dosing my two part Reef Fusion and monitored alk and...

I cheated and paid extra for FedEx shipping. The fixtures rock. Thank you very much.

My wife and I have read that high levels of Mg are very hard on all the inverts in the tank as well, and that Tech M has some kind of additive that actually kills the bryopsis. I cannot seem to find anyone who can tell me for sure what it is about Tech M that does the job, just that it works...
