    Tank Logs

    in General Discussion

    I use the small logbooks they used to make us keep for science fair in school...and while I don't write down EVERYTHING that happens to my tank, it does keep a fairly ice running record of the history of my successes (and failures.)

    How much is too much Aiptasia X

    in General Discussion

    There was a discussion in the recent past about someone that killed a bunch of their Aiptasia with Aiptasia X and it has adverse effect on their tank. Anybody got any thoughts on how much is too much? I probably used 1/2 of one of the included syringe today and stopped. Advice welcome. Thanks

    Man, it's tough to fight again market share! The Reef Angel will also do all those things with the full expandability of the Apex and the others. Guess it's just a matter of which you have, which you want, and what your buddies have and might can help you with.

     

    I do appreciate all the discussion on the board of late about controllers, other than Chad wanting to build his own rolleyes.gif, we haven't done that much. So keep up the discussion, anyone want to see the Reef Angel, let me know. Thanks

    I wanted a controller for a long time but just couldn't convince myself to spend the money for the top of the line Neptune gear, but then found Reef Angel from a discussion on this board. Because I probably like the DIY concept of this hobby more than I do my actual tank inhabitants it was perfect for me. I do work in IT so I was able to understand the programming and configuration necessary to make the product a success but since getting involved the product has continued to mature and is now much easier to use.

     

    I found it to be completely expandable, all the plugs, ports, probes, lights, floats, weather and sound simulations, monitors, charts, web apps, smart phones, reactors, chillers, etc., you could possibly imagine. You are limited to only what you can dream up and work with others to figure out.

     

    Yes, it can seem a little complicated to start but there are now a couple of us on this forum that can help and we are trying to get others started. IceCool2 has some stuff on his website here and I do as well. Let us know how we might help, I recently helped a member for a little gas money and got to raid his frag tank clap.gif

     

    Thx for reading!

    Gurgeling???

    in General Discussion

    Is the durso making a gurgling sound...if yes...I've had success making a small hole and either leaving it as is or sticking a small piece of tuning in it ....it's made mine silent....dead silent

     

    I have the same problem, except mine has the hole and the tubing. I have never really understood the science of this. How far is the tubing sticking down into the pipe? A little? A lot? Thx in advance.

    1st DIY LED lighting

    in Do It Yourself

    I am really interested in building one of these kits but every time I get ready to pull the trigger, I pull back. My latest fear is optics. I just don't understand them.

     

    I will probably go with the 8 inch by 20 inch heat sink (on a 48 x 18" tank.) Would I need two of those?

     

    They offer 80, 60, and 45 degree optics, and I plan to probably spread the 72 light kit out over that space.

     

    Thx in advance for your advice.

    Which controller??

    in General Discussion

    Is anyone using AI Sols? I have 2 now, will be getting two more for the upgrade, but I think there was some other accessory needed to run them with the Apex. And will the Apex run vortechs straight out of the gate or will I have to buy something else for that too? I assume the standard grade ph probe is fine, I wouldn't need the lab grade, right?

    I just checked with the guy that developed ReefAngel and he said support is available for the AI Sols. Reef Angel supports all channels individually and Vortech is supported as well. Thx

    Which controller??

    in General Discussion

    I, too, am a fan of the Reef Angel. Depending on what you want to monitor the controller works fantastically. It costs less than the other products but does require some configuration and programming to do some of the specialized options. I do some programming if you need the help and would be happy to show you what I doing. Check out my web site for some screen shots and ideas for some of the things available. Thx
