Lots of time sanding and a few coats of stain. Then polyurethaned. I use minwax KONA ,I thought it was going to be too dark but turned out great. I also made my own shelf/beer rail out of solid wood and crown molding. Take a look and let me know what you think. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

They should have a WAMAS meeting there. It would be amazing! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Looks great! Anyone on here know of a link or who maintains it? http://www.loudountimes.com/entertainment/article/ocean_blue_makes_waves_in_sterling432 Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Ok, wiring nightmare. Everything is wired up except the moonlight leds. I still gotta cut holes for the. I added 2 extra fans also. I can't wait to hook it up. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Wow, incredible! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Nothing available near me and you can't order online.....good deal tho... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

The picture of the current ballasts says right on the lable, M81, M142. We shall see. I think it will be fine tho. At least I hope so.... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Yeah, too committed, plus I need double. Thanks for the thought tho. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Welp, just ordered all ballasts. The m81 at 1000bulbs was out of stock....so they made a suggestion that m142 will also work. Only a few $ more. https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/111365/BF-H7UNV150HBC.html I'd like to get wiring started up this weekend, but I belive these parts won't be in until early next week. I want to confirm the m142 will also work...anyone? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Nice. I will check locally before ordering online Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Nice thread, but how did you mount the end connectors? Or did you buy replacements. Yours is very clean. Mine is kind of rusted so I might take a sander to what I can reach. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I will be removing the PC'S and replacing them with T5's from other fixture. Coral Hind please take a look. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Ok here we go. I took a picture of both MH ballast. Not sure if they have been tampered with before I got the fixture, but as you can tell, they don't look the same. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I plan on tearing apart my fixture this weekend. Pics to come... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

What about http://depotlighting.com/-p-303.html?gclid=Cj0KEQiA2b20BRDj4buduIG-y9EBEiQAhgMGFUkPjyIN3JNA5No5IEsIufY_qwEs_UV6YK9pjgMlZz4aAhZ18P8HAQ Or https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/93393/BF-H7UNV150HSC.html Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Shoot, you know what, I mixed up my threads. I'm replacing my t5 ballasts too. Sorry for the mistake. I will post pics asap Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I'm not knowledgeable on electronic or canned, but I know my bulbs are HQI double ended bulbs. Does that help? This was recommended for me https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/101029/BA-ICN2S54T35I.html As well as https://premiumaquatics.com/products/ati-dimmable-54w-2-bulb-t5-ballast.html Please advise Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Maybe in the future, not right now. I found that asni m81 for $90 and I'll need two. Any other less expensive options? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Ok, thanks for the info. I do not want to swap to 250w Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I have a Current usa 48" Outer Orbit with 2x150w MH, I need to replace the ballast and I can't find a replacement. Please make any recommendations either factory or best brand that will work. Please keep in mind I need the same size as stock to fit in the housing. I am using double ended bulbs. I am also ordering from 1000bulbs.com so id like to make one order. Thanks in advance. Ready, set, go! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I started a whole new tank with new live rock because it was saturated. I even tried zeovit and still didn't 100% kill it. Good luck Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Looks like a great set up. I too live in Warrenton. If you ever need help, let me know. I have a 120 but not set up at the moment because I just moved down from NY. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

For LEDs Reefbreeder has a great unit. I use the Current Outer Orbit 48" with MH and T5s Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
