Kevinmc Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Just wanted to know what is the best option without a timer? Lights on daylight, Blues, or off for 7 days? I have a sump that I can or will leave the light on........? Thanks Kevin Quote
JeffP Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 You mean you currently turn on and off your lights manually?(fishhit) Quote
dsoz Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Timers are good things. It keeps everything on schedule. I have my timers set to come on while I am at work, that way I have the lights on while I am home and still awake. Otherwise it would be turn on lights before I leave for work, then turn them off when I get home. Not very exciting. dsoz Quote
stylaster Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 yup timers are the way to go i even use them to cycle my power heads. Quote
Kevinmc Posted June 19, 2008 Author Posted June 19, 2008 Thanks guy's Got it set now, timers installed, I was using a reminder on my cell phone........but hey, it's all good now. Thanks Ray, have no fear it is sweet now. Off to Newport for a week, going to blow some glass in Lincoln City for my new bare bottom tank to be set-up in August; see you in Portland on Sunday for Bob Fenner. Thank A million Kevin Quote
kriswaters Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Fun... I think one of the first things I did was semi-automate my tank. I have two seperate timers. One runs just my lights, and the other runs my power heads, closed loop system and my sump light (still need to move that over to opposite my day lights). I also have an auto top off system (wow does that make a difference). When I leave town for 2 or 3 days, I use this opportunity as a "lights out" and "fish fasting". I come home to a cleaner tank with sparkling water! 7 or more days I guess would be tough...to bad they didn't make a timer for a timer... Good luck. Kris Quote
Reefin' Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 See ya there kevin......do u have someone who is going to feed ur fish for u? Where u blowin glass at? Quote
pledosophy Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 7 or more days I guess would be tough...to bad they didn't make a timer for a timer... They call it a controller Becareful with having certain powerheads with certain fish on timers. A wavemaker with a few second switch is one thing, but some powerheads on timers are just asking for chopped fish. Quote
dsoz Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 How did the glass blowing turn out? I have thought about doing it, but I was shocked by the pricetag. But the EXPERIENCE!!!! You get to say "I made that float that is on the bottom of my tank" (I thought that glass floats... floated????) I have done stained glass, but I want to try glass blowing. Post some pics for us to see your product!!! dsoz Quote
