My juv goldflake angel has a weird bump on its back. Im not sure what it is, and before I start just throwing melafix at it, I figured I'd ask around. A few weeks ago I had to drain the tank to a couple inches and remove all the rock so I could lift it up and slide a platform underneath it, and a couple fish got little knicks in their fins from the affair, which may have been where/when he got this. I'm almost 100% sure this is when his color dulled, and around when he has been spending more and more time off by himself, but the bump/discoloration of the spot is very new. It may have been a bit discolored for a short time, but the bump itself is only a couple days old. I don't want to medicate unnecessarily and I dont want to jump in with anything super harsh if unnecessary. The tank has a bunch of hermit crabs in it and possibly some of those little hitchhiker starfish which i wouldnt be able to remove. invert-harmful meds r only if absolutely necessary.

That's true, I didn't even think about that, I definitely will dim it when I go

Solaris i5, I think it is. (The American model made to replace the crappy Chinese models...id HATE to see the crappy Chinese model!!!)

It's a Solaris. A discontinued kind, which doesn't do all the cool stuff it's supposed to, like dimming for cloud cover, which it actually has a setting for, but more importantly, it doesn't auto dim at all, it just turns on/off at morning/night, or adjust for calendar sunrise/set, even tho it keeps the date and all.

No fans, and yes, a hot stuffy room. Probably in the high 70s, low 80s. I'd have to check to be sure. It's pretty humid too, from 2 big warm tanks evaporations. So I pretty much just need to run a fan onto the fixture? Wow, that's a relief! I was worried there was dangerous overheating going on from bad wiring or something that could potentially start a fire!!!

Please look down at my post about my LED fixture-I didn't include the situation may potentially be dangerous, not simply wondering if it's working properly, or not. The post is just a dozen or so topics below "Led fixture overheating", or something like that.

Hi there, my LED fixture that I got used after last summer, has started shutting off for 10-15minutes now and then, whenever it hits 120F, until it gets back down to 100F. I've never heard of that being a standard something that LEDs do. Obviously this fixture is set up for that, since it does the auto cool down, but that can't be normal, can it? I didn't think LEDs even got that hot, but mine does(just since it's started getting over 90F out). Is my fixture crap, or is it normal, or.....? I don't like it in general, but I can live with it if it's safe, but I canNOT take ANY risks! We're going to be gone in a month, for a week, so no1 will b around to monitor things, and I'm getting worried. Even worse would be if something happened while NOT on vacation, and everyone is out, and all out animals are home alone when something goes wrong!!!
