Sold. Thanks for looking

Sold the bulbs. How about

Do we have a reporting thread somewhere or are people posting here. I have a 4x2x2 120g tank with dual 250 artemis bulbs that were about 3 months old and the lumatek elite hoods. So I was very surprised with the results I had gotten from using the meter. I have attached a picture and the numbers that I received. What was surprising was how directional the hoods that I was using were. I had heard from sunlight that they were very focused but thought that there would be more spread on them. I had very little light in the middle and now need to rearrange. I also let a buddy run a test. He had a new bulb and a 6 month old bulb and it lost about 20% in that amount of time.

Trying to post a pic with my ipad. I actually had 5 plus 2 nubs

I'll get a picture later tonight. I'm still at 5 with no extra nubs

Bump. Still trying to get rid of these. New price

Bump with new prices

for the whole setup with bulbs

I have a 660 sounds like bad bulb or connection

I had 2 blow away as well. They were there one day and then they were not. I had re-glued my stuff earlier because it was starting to come off as well. In the lowest flow section of my tank on the sand bed blocked by a rock.

I think I may have OD'd on this slightly, I would recommend the every other day thing as some have mentioned. I noticed my chalices were starting to blacken so I slowed down on the usage and things came back.

$125 for the whole setup with bulbs. The bulbs alone are worth 100

I just stared doing this after winning a start at the meeting. I have only been going about a week but I did find some great resources on the web. Chuck I'd like to know what you got as food because I got a couple small bottles from reef nutrition that should last a little while.

I just got a coral from california 2 days ago. He used both the thinner styrofoam and put in no heat pack and everything came in fine. Water was a little cold when it showed up but everything was fine. Better than too much heat

How many hours are your heat packs going to last? I would say just one heat pack. I actually just lost 2 coral from it getting too hot. I used a 20+ hour heat pack in a 6x6x6 box. I insulatated it with 3/4" stryo I bought at home depot. What I shouldn't have done is taped the seams of my insulated cooler but I did put a hole on the top of the box where the heat pack was located. Three of my shipments did make it that day. Overall I wish I hadn't taped the seams and think I would have had better success. I was going to try the thinner stryofoam as well. Make sure to tape it to the top and put a bunch of new paper between it and the corals.

As far as heat packs go the wet spot sells the 20 hour ones . They ship alot at the cyclid exchange and recommend only using the 20 and 40 hour for some reason. Not sure if others have heard the same thing or not.

Just saw this. Thank you as well the corals look great. I think the TEC joker favia is one of my new favorites.

Well i'll feed him to my puffer if you are going to toss them. You gonna be in portland at all in the next couple days?

Yep a queen. I had always heard that you couldn't have multiple angels but i've seen a couple tanks with multiples. Might be time for a emperor.
