Yea. you're right. I saw forums talking about how I can't retrofit a dimmer.

I am thinking of the following LRS power supply. https://www.ledsupply.com/power-supplies/mean-well-lrs-enclosed or the dimmable PWM-120-36 https://www.ledsupply.com/power-supplies/mean-well-pwm-series

Thanks for your reply. Should I try to get a meanwell power supply? Will that be more reliable than just any random 36 power supply? If so, what gauge wire should I buy?

Not sure why the screenshot did not attach. You can see the junction under "unobtrusive and waterproof wire" on the website. https://ultumnaturesystems.com/titan-1/#specs It is basically a male-female 2 pin or 3 pin core plug. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806574611820.html?src=google&pdp_npi=4%40dis!USD!2.26!1.36!!!!!%40!12000038215479205!ppc!!!&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=708-803-3821&isdl=y&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&aff_platform=google&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&gclsrc=aw.ds&albagn=888888&ds_e_adid=&ds_e_matchtype=&ds_e_device=c&ds_e_network=x&ds_e_product_group_id=&ds_e_product_id=en3256806574611820&ds_e_product_merchant_id=107886837&ds_e_product_country=US&ds_e_product_language=en&ds_e_product_channel=online&ds_e_product_store_id=&ds_url_v=2&albcp=19108228023&albag=&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAjp-7BhBZEiwAmh9rBYe1amwOHJR7xdd9QsrF3l6LSrACdMxT1iZArfXAltmafpoFtM2MNhoCYg0QAvD_BwE&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

I would like to know if this is a safe and doable DIY. Engineer with basic electrical soldering skills here. I saw this ad for an used UNS titan light. Catch is that the junction seems to have burnt on the inside but the lamp works fine. It comes with a 36V, 4A power supply https://ultumnaturesystems.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/TITAN-INSTRUCTIONS.pdf Is replacing the entire power supply easy and adding a kill-a-watt monitor worth it? Or should I just not buy it?

I had an aiptasia problem and so I had to add a peppermint shrimp. Current livestock are Cerith snails 10 and Trochus snails 5.

@dfos00 GSP and red mushroom and also gorgonian?

Yellow star polyp and waving anthelia from @Kathryn Lawson Candy cane and mushroom from @BigLos

Here are some updates of the tank. Huge thanks to @gastone for giving me the protein skimmer and toadstool frag "Nate". Macroalgae and Purple gorgonian from @ReeferMan

Great tank. Would love to stop by and check it out sometime.

Love the clowns and the set up!

Thank you. Will ramp the blues up to 50% Would definitely love to work with the skimmer. Will message you to figure it out.

Hi guys, After being a WAMAS member for almost five-plus years, I finally started my first salt water tank. I need to thank @telegraham for all his posts/message replies on instagram and @gastone for taking time to reply to my questions. Here is the set up. 17.1 g Landen 60P 23.6x11.8x14.2 (bought used) Imagitarium 30g stand (bought used from Second Chance, Baltimore) 200W heater Jebao ELW-5 3000L/hr wave maker Generic HOB filter with sponge and some ceramic rings - might upgrade to a canister or hygger HOB based on bioload. ~20lb of cured live rock from an established tank Nicrew 150W light (bought used) I bought the Nicrew controller to tune the white and blue LEDs in 5% increments. CaribSea Natural Reef 16 lb sand. Here are a couple of pics of the tank. I would appreciate your thoughts on the following. 1. After 2 weeks, I will start adding astrea snails. Also looking for some frags. Please lmk if you have any. 2. Is my lighting schedule okay? I would ideally get in line for the WAMAS PAR meter. I want to know that I don't have it too high to fry up the tank. I ramp it between 0 and 20% for the whites and blues. 3. Any good clean-up crew suggestions? Thanks.

Thank you.

Data spec sheet from another seller suggests that ~6mm will result in 80% light transmission. Should I consider a simple glass top instead (acrylic warps badly)? Also, how do I prevent algae from growing b/w the walls? Just sliding U-channels would help? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Thermoclear-5-8-in-x-96-in-x-5-8-in-16mm-Polycarbonate-Multi-Wall-U-Channel-PCTWU-16MM/205202538
