    I fail at Steve's LEDs

    Well this sucks. I purchased some LEDs and drivers/power supply from Steve so I could replace my 150MH frag light. I glued 7 leds to a heat sink, wired them up and installed the driver and power supply. The power supply was only putting out 18.4v max with the knob turned all the way up. I...

    Just changed RO pre filters and TDS is 33?

    Hello, maybe someone can help me out. I just changed out my sediment filter, 5 micron carbon, and 6 micron carbon. My TDS before DI was 12-17 and now it's 33 with the new filters. I ran the filters for about 3-5 min before hooking the line up to the membrane. At this rate i'm going to burn...

    How is everyone's reef doing?

    Tested PAR on my MH setup.

    Apogee MQ-200 PAR meter came yesterday. As soon as I can make a holder for this thing and get better readings I'll post a picture of my tank with readings. But Last night I attached the sensor to my sea squirt with a zip tie and got some readings. My setup: My 400W 20K Ushio SI metal halides...

    Apogee PAR meter on its way!

    Woohoo, finally pulled the trigger on a PAR meter. Can't wait to see the light output of current setup. On a side note i've got 24 LEDs from Steve's LEDs coming and I can't wait to test those out. The LEDs aren't being added for PAR but rather color as I have two 400W MH over my system. I'll...

    Pink Radium (400w si)

    Just thought I'd start my own thread. This is the second radium I’ve gotten that burns pink. I've had it on M135, coralvue dimmable (all watt levels), and icecap ballasts. It's pink on all of them. The bulb is burned in for 2 months already...I’m done with Radium. Burning next to it is a 10...
