Just a basic timer on full blast no dimming yet... Its the diy solderless kit from rapid leds 12 bulbs. I think with the driver i can add 2-3 more leds.

How much did that run you?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

I think it was 120.00 for everything from rapjd and i had to buy a 4-12v power supply. So everything and the extras prob. 150.00

 

[LowezAkar24]

Well keep me posted on the par reading you get in the tank.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Corals are doing good and growing. Once i find someone with a par meter i will test for that

Thanks chris. Fathom yea def. get in touch with me if you are ever by the jersey shore

Well this update is not a good one. After adding the achilles and other fish into my frag tank there was a disease outbreak. My achilles, 2nd pbt, blue hippo tang, yellow tang, royal gamma, 2 blue chromis have died. Lesson learned qt tank all the way from now on.

Damn, sorry to here that, that's gotta suck.
Any idea what might have caused that?

 

[masterswimmer]

T, sometimes we get so confident & comfortable with our systems we throw caution to the wind. Sorry for your losses.

[Tonyscoots84]

Mj what caused it was not properly QT'ing new fish and adding sick fish to a eatablished tank... Damn diseases and parasites.

Russ yea i guess you can say that. Im very annoyed that my 200.00 fish died also with another 200.00 in other fish. Lesson learned

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Another fish down pbt rest in peace buddy. . No luck with fish lately....

 

[SteveZ15]

[Tonyscoots84]

It was a bunch of diseases and ich. My fish really caught everything you can think of.

 

[Awibrandy]

T, I am really sorry you lost your fish! I know how you feel, and it really sucks.;( I even lost fish after 10 weeks of QT with no illness visible. I am totally disgusted.:supermad:

 

[Tonyscoots84]
