2 tickets for the MP10 please and thanks!

I see, that makes things a bit more difficult.

I'll reach out to a couple buddies of mine and see if they have any but I believe you can update the bios with a usb drive and the new cpu. Heres a link that might help if that's the issue your having. https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?115316-Updating-BIOS-with-new-CPU-(Not-supported-BIOS-level)

1 free for Premium Aquarium please!

There are small holes around the rim of the lid and a 40x40mm fan that sucks air out of the tank which is connected to a variable driver so I can adjust how much air I want to move. The holes around the rim keep the glass clear of condensation.

I actually keep dart frogs as well and the acrylic will still warp unfortunately. I used 3/8" acrylic to build a lid in combination with some 3d printed parts but even the thick stuff still warped due too vivariums having high humidity and warm temperatures. @pdxmonkeyboyis correct in that polycarbonate wont warp from the moisture. The first picture kinda shows the warping and this was just 2 days after I had made it. The second picture is for fun.

I am a supporting member!

I'll take one!

You should be just fine with using the good old arm and hammer stuff, I've been using it for 5 years and have gotten icp tests done at least twice a year. Never had aluminum or any other toxic metal show up from it. I tend to turn the bicarbonate into carbonate so it becomes twice as soluble and also helps push up the ph in the tank at the same time as the alkalinity. The only time I've ever seen aluminum spike is when I tried a marine pure block in the sump. My aluminum went from close to nothing to toxic after just 3 weeks due to the blocks being made from aluminum silicate.

On my main tank, I have a diy built fixture with ~360, ~370, ~380, and ~390 nm chips, I notice that if they are pushed to there max running voltage and amperage, they tend to only last about a year. I just run them at 80% to 90% and the ones I'm currently running have been going strong for 2+ years now. I'll be curious about the ones on this puck.

Thanks! I've been a huge fan of bluefish controllers, my main DT uses it and now this one does. The puck was bought from a guy on ebay I've done business with, he sells one that I believe has the exact same leds as the 2nd or third radion. I asked if he could have one made with some specific spectrums and he was able to do it. I think hes selling the same ones now too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/100mm-5-Channel-Custom-Cree-Semileds-21-chip-LED-Aquatic-Plant-Coral-Grow-Light/373076723189?pageci=50ec146d-0b02-4558-a01e-edd636c0c327

And one more photo of the tank with the spectrums finally adjusted and the tank settled. I will definitely keep updating this post but for now let me know what you think and let me know of any questions that any of you hate! Also what fish should I put in this tank? Open to suggestions but I'd like to done something unique. Possibly going with a nice designer pair of clownfish. Maybe some black snowflake or phantom clowns?

Got the light set up and running smoothly after probably a half dozen issues were fixed... I stopped by CnC and picked up a BEAUTIFUL bubbletip anemone as the fist candidate for the new tank and I have to say, for no tuning of the light spectrums, this thing is so colorful. Thanks again @CuttleFishandCoral!!! Photos were taken with a Samsung Galaxy S8 active with no editing done except for the picture of the tank to try and kill some of the blues. I definitely need to do some spectrum adjusting.

Okay I've got the enclosures for the LED head and driver housing done and printed/printing. This light build will utilize the PWM controller made by Bluefish. This will allow me to monitor and control the light fixture all from my phone or tablet along with having the ability to mimic weather conditions in a specific area of my choosing which is on thing that really drew me into the hobby. The LED puck is a custom designed piece made by Cree and Semiled that is similar to an older version of the Radion but has some differences like less actual LED chips and different spectrums that I wanted to try out for better coral growth and coloration. Tank is now finally wet!!!! No leaks so far, fingers crossed.... Slowly adding small pieces of pukani rock to the tank.

What's up everyone! A couple months ago I got a coupon for some create your own custom glass panes and decided to use it to build a small nano tank. I ended up getting some 3/8" thick panes that would fit together to make a 16"x16"x10" small tank which equals roughly 11 gallons water volume. The build was more based on the tank footprint vs. water volume. There was one other thing that I wanted to do different with this tank and that was that I wanted all the parts to be 3D printed to make sort of a challenge for myself. The glass arrived in great condition and I went with black ASI silicone sealant since all the other parts would be printed with black colored plastics so I figured it would match better. So far (9/07/2020) everything is 3D printed except for the wavemaker as this is quite the challenge. This includes the lock-line return nozzle, bulkheads, led light and driver. I will probably be changing out the bulkheads for real ones as the reason the wavemaker is such a challenge is that virtually all the plastics I've tried printing with have shrank in the saltwater which making me super nervous about having a nice waterfall of saltwater coming from the bulkheads one of these days. If anyone is interested in any of my 3D files, just shoot me a message and I'll be happy to share them! Got the tank all set up and plumbed into my existing system and now its time to start building the light!

I bid $20 when it's for sale.

If you didnt end up finding one, I always stop by thrift stores and pick up power adapters, you can get some pretty hefty ones for just a couple dollars. As long as the label for the output says 12v and the amperage is at least .7A, your good to go. The amperage can be any number as long as it's at least .7A.

Yep, the light is still for sale.

ATB skimmer, not sure about which model this is. - $125

Mars Aqua led reef light. Fixture is not even a year old, all of the LEDs work like new and is very clean. Comes with cords. - $75

Next up are two dc return pumps, they are both aquastation pumps and I have been very pleased with these, they push alot of water and are very quiet. Both are working like new. DC-3000 - $35 DC-4000 - $45

Hello all, have a few things for sale. Located in albany, or. I am willing to ship and do make occasional trips to CnC so delivery would be possible if it was a day I was traveling that direction. Cash, paypal, venmo are all accepted. First up is a good and sturdy stand with a tank footprint of 39" x 22". Very sturdy built. Has a removable shelf that works great to hold either equipment or a separate fuge! - $100 Unknown sump that is around 20 gallon capacity with dual overflow sock holders. - $25

I've got a running 50 gallon frag tank that could most likely hold that many frags, and your welcome to house them here for a while, but I'm down in Albany though so it's a bit of a ways.

I'll check and see, most of the stuff is alot smaller because it works better in the calcium reactor.
