Just stopping by JoJo

Nice job on the lights, any news on the

?

JoJo · 02-19-2009, 10:28 AM

thanks for stopping by. i got the ballast back, now i'm just waiting on the new bulb. i called tuesday to see what was up, and i was told they were moving so orders hadnt been processed. the guy said my order would be sent out tuesday and i should get it by saturday.

on a sad not, the Anthias has been MIA for close to a week now, i think he starved but he was looking healthy the last time i saw him. but i've been really neglecting my tank since the lighting issue first started so what ever the reason for him missing its my fault.

JoJo · 02-21-2009, 09:29 AM

Sorry about the anthias JoJo!

JoJo · 02-21-2009, 09:48 PM

BEC!!! you're back, that made my day.

yungreefer2410 · 02-21-2009, 09:55 PM

what lights do you have one the tank?

jjohnson3 · 02-21-2009, 09:57 PM

I like your lighting fixture! It seems that to get what you really want, DIY is needed.

JoJo · 02-22-2009, 07:26 PM

YR-the fixture has (4) 4ft t-5 bulbs on a IceCap660 ballast and (2) 2ft PC bulbs on one of the ballast i took out of the PC fixture.

the t-5 bulbs are 2 12k & 2 14k

the PC bulbs are actnics

Jason-sometimes it takes a little blood, sweat and tears to get what you want add a truck full of curse words and a boat load of patience and you've got the average reefer's DIY. lol

framerguy · 02-22-2009, 09:12 PM

It ain't DIY until there IS blood on it. That goes without saying.

rmlevasseur · 02-22-2009, 09:19 PM

Looking great Jo! I agree with the blood comment, diy or not! If my fish were sharks I think I'd be missing a few fingers by now

JoJo · 02-25-2009, 02:21 PM

Hey all. i finally got the lights up and running. it sits about 1ft above the waters surface and is the same intensity as the PC did being 2-4 inches above the waters surface. i think it will be alot brighter once i put a "curtain" around the hood because alot of the light is being loss. but i lowered the hammer coral and put the hairy shroom in a shaded area just to be one the safe side. i left the ric pretty high up because i think its been starved for light for so long it'll do it some good.
