Do we know who is doing the june meeting this year and when it might be?

My lighting is going to remain the same With leds .. I got my mangrove on ebay 5 for 20 bucks... I will have 8 leds when I'm done setting up all tanks. ... 4 leds over display Tank. Two leds over sump and two over refuge... but currently over this 55 I have two. But they will end up going into my 55 gallon refuge... So all in all. I will have a 120 display... with 55 gallon sump behind holding about half with water of course.... then a 55 gallon refuge with mangroves and other plant life with sea horses. ... then also connecting my grow out clown fish tank when I breeding to sump. But those I run t5 and aren't always going. ..

Some pics. tank is about 1 1/2 month led with mar aqua....lights just came on. ..but look at my pretty mangrove

For 5 mangroves today. Stick three in my tank. Until refuge is set up with new tank. And two on my dad's 90 Gallon. Shrimps seem to love it. .. so does my fishes. Who swim about. Can't wait to see what they do for my tank. ..

So thinking about adding a few mangroves to my display tank in back, but don't know too much about them. . Like if my tang nipped at it. Are they poisonous? Or a crab.. what's the best type to get... any one grow them. I Hear people grow them in their sums but I don't run one. .. opinions. . Knowledge.. anyone

Day two no issues with lighting and corals are out. So upped lighting

This picture is about 20 percent up

My dad last night set up aquamaster 165W Dimmable LED s the over 90 gallon long. . The tank had issues with severe red slime. Pinned pointed cause to lighting. First things I noticed about fixtures is they are heavy but nice quality metal. You can't hear the fans.real quiet. they can not be daisy chained. Negative. ... they have on and off with a turn knobserve so unless you want to reset your coloring every time I'd suggest timmers... I see the switches failing I'd you use them every day. .. At full force I see great color but not sure if he had a blue enough spectrum as I'd prefer... but at max does look awesome.. will keep you posted... here is first day picture

set up about 3 weeks my marsaqua led lights. My Lights are still a bit far from my tank. However my rbta is out and starting to get sticky again and turning red again. And my critters are out.. lights are on about 6 hours. Fullest brightness and color I'd want the lights. I'm just going to need at least 4 more. Sump and refuge and all. And one more for my longer tank as well I'm setting up. I was impressed with customer service as well. One came with a noisy fan. I contacted them and no questions asked me fan on way free of cost. One day later. Didn't even need to take picture. Kudos there. . I can honestly say those words rarely come out of my mouth. Also I'm seeing less algae growth and brown think I had with my last metal halide 20 250 was I had. . Negative to it was I had to put a heater in the tank. The lights don't keep my tank warm.. later I will post pictures

A few years back I seem to recal there was store opening up that someone said I thought was two stories does anyone recall it? Also what are some of the best reef stores in Oregon and where

My fish are looking brighter too

Second week with leds mars aqua. they are half way vamped. I have to ove 55 gallon 4 ft tank. .. first few days my anemone final starting to come out.. he isn't as red as he should be. But he ate my angel. So his color should be picking up soon. I am setting up 120 gallon soon. So I will need to buy one more. . But I'm very pleased for about 90 bucks each.

I have chihuahuas but they aren't allowed in the garage with the tanks or they get into stuff

My mandrin died last week after two years. the day after that I lost a emerald crab. Then my anemone decided not to like led lighting. So I temp put t5 over his side of the tank. .. today my angel vanished. I suspect either deaTh and my pistol shrimp took him under sand. Or my rbta ate him. He was so healthy too. . I'm so sad

Specially since I feed it all the time

My Atlantic pygmy angel vanished. Can't find it any where. Took out and moved rocks. Looked around tank. Nothing. I suspect my amenome rose bubble. Rbta I thought it was hiding die to my new led lights but now I suspect it was just digesting. I'm so mad. ..

I've started the actinic for about 3 hours and all is good. Then I add the day lights on lowest setting. Then everything hides. Use them for about two hours then two hours of just Actinic again. Then lights out. Mind you I've just switched over 5 days asgo.ago. . Sad story though. I also in 5 days lost my mandarin dragnet that I've had for two years. And a emerald crab. And the only thing that has change is lighting. All my parameters are still great. Think my Manson didn't eat after I changed lightning. He just hid. Asks not sure on the emerald. . Maybe he tried to eat the mandrin. Cause all my other live, stock is still wonderful. My pygmy angel and clowns goby asks pistol shrimp, and tang ate out and about and happy.

Mars aqua leds. Lowest setting 15 inches over tank 55 gallon.. seems need to be high up. Anemone. Ric mushrooms and star polyps hammer head love the light. Amenome and acans and polyps seems to not opening after 5 days.. even on lowest. Hope they get use to it soon. Below is the lights. Then next is the tank with only acnics on lowest setting. ThE third picture is how my anemone normally looks. And fourth is a picture of how my anemone likes the leds after 5 days

So my lights are great. The mushrooms and star polyps and hammer head and frog spawns love it at lowest setting 15 inches over tank. However my anemone and my scans and polyps seem to be closing up and hiding. .. hope they get use to it soon. Been about 5 days now. ..

Not sure if my anemone likes it. Or if he is, just digesting when I switched over lighting

In at lowest setting right now. Real bright. Amenome really doesn't like me right now. Even so high over tank. .. had higher last night, but just so bright. None of my corals really fully opened today.

Fast shipping. Nice lighing. Quiet fans. . Real crap light hanging kit.. put together with a cheap car key clips. And non adjustable.. and writes weren't even same length. Installed 15 inches over 4 ft tank

I hAve a 90 gallon 69 inches under hood space how many you think it needs.

Well I know some can be bought in CAli from China as well... but there pricing is lower, and with the cost for something 80 bucks more. . I think I'd buy onine. They come with a year warranty as well.. I mainly only buy fish and corals asks filter media in town.

Any one try out the mars aqua 165 led lighting yet? I jane heard mixed reviews
