I saw these in person and they look even better than they do in the pics. Very nice!! Tom

Like Eric said, YouTube and you will see how to do just about anything you need to do. The fans are very easy and cheap to replace (they may be just stuck) and ballast and power cords are also not very hard just make sure you follow the directions and have a little patience!! Tom

I have done this as well for many years and have had great results. They really work well and are safe! Tom

Wow this is really sad and very disappointing!! Agree with Tom, they are thiefs. It's not like your prices were not already very reasonable. Sorry for your loss! Tom

Ok thanks Eric. I guess that is something we will need to deal with if we go this route.

Yes thanks all for the info!! Are you all noticing the bowing in an ATI unit with the plastic shield in place? Either way it does sound like another option. Will look forward to seeing how they perform in the long run. Thanks again, Tom

Eric - thanks. I agree and that is why I am interested as well. Will be interested to see how you like them. Tom

Does anyone have any experience using the EuroQuatics Blue Pop bulbs? If so, how do you feel they compare to the T5 blue bulb you replaced? Also I know this is probably like comparing apples to oranges considering the price difference, but if you have tried them how do you think they compare to the ReefBrite blue strip lights? Thanks, Tom

I agree with Eric (epleeds), I have also been running ATI T5 fixtures for a long time and I am sure the dimmable feature is fun to have I do not personally see the need. Also, Monkiboy has a brand new 24" 8 bulb ATI he is selling right now for a very good price. And yes, the 24" length would be plenty for your 36" tank. Tom

Eric - thanks for the reply and sorry for the slow reply. I was out of town for the weekend. I agree with you that it is a favia or in the favia family and yes it does have sweepers at night. I am adding (hopefully) 2 new pictures and these like the others are taken under full lighting. The colors are yellow centers or eyes with purple around the eyes and then kind of a neon green outlining the purple. Also a few of the eyes are a more of an orange/reddish color - can see them in the center of the frag. Just would be nice to know what this is called because I have never seen it before. Thanks again, Tom

So no one knows what this is? I pick it up a while back and it was small and rather dull but has since really brighten up. I just would like to see if I can find out a little more about it. Tom

Thanks - I will think about it....... Anyone have an idea what this is called? Tom

Looking to see if anyone can tell me what type of coral this is and it's name. Thanks in advance, Tom

Tom this is great news!! Thanks to all that you and the other board,embers do to keeps WAMAS up and running - greatly appreciated!! Tom

I believe it is Green Sinularia. I have several large colonies of this in my tank. Looks nice! Tom

Wow - very nice!!

So I have a breeding pair of Gold Bar Maroons. Every time I put my hand in the tank on "her" side she tries to tear me a new one!!! If it wasn't for the fact that they spawn every few weeks and may be the reason my Rainbow RBTAs split almost every other week, the female at least would probably be in the Potomac River by now Pretty fish, especially when they are small, but my female is now at least 3-4" and very dark and mean. However I must say, neither of them bother any other tank mates at all - JUST ME!!!! She even pounds on the rubber gloves when I am in the tank working Will see if I can get a pic tonight. Tom

I am looking to replace a few of the sockets and a ballast on my ATI Powermodule (8x54W) and want to make sure I order the correct parts. I think the sockets I want are the Non Shunted ones but was hoping someone could verify. Also, I have not yet taken the fixture apart but I think it has 4 separate ballasts that power 2 each T5s even though the power cords fire up 2 and 6 bulbs respectfully. Currently the 2 and only 4 of the next 6 will light even after numerous bulb switches to test. Again, can anyone with more experience verify this for me? Thanks in advance, Tom
