do you have a link to the black silicone that you were going to use?

how much space do you leave at the joints?

I have been told a tooth pick. is that right?

where are some more updates on this?

getting ready to build a 41 gallon tank and I need you to build yours first!

it is going to be 16x20x30 tall.

if that goes smoothly I will be building a 28x50x30 tall.

for the 41 gallon it is going to be rimless with 3/8 glass

I was planning on the larger one going rimless with 1/2 but thinking it might have to be 5/8 thick.

you still selling this?

you back in town yet?

you still wanting to sell this?

if I don't hear back I may go with someone else.

send me a PM

would you ship to 97504?

would you ship this to 97504?

not sure yet

depends on how I wire it.

right now I have a 4 T5 and 2 MH system and I have the t5s turn on and then 1 MH and then the next about 30 mins later.

I like it so I might go that route or just have it get brighter and brighter then dimmer and dimmer

not sure yet though. it sure does get me thinkin though

thank you for bring up that option. I might not have thought about it.

Are you going to do the whole east to west' date=' sunrise, sunset thing? I think it is awesome and if we decide to stick with LED's we are going that route. I have been very happy with my LED tank.[/quote']

sorry I have been really busy

going to get started back on this real soon

here is what I have so far

still a lot to do. might just say up all night and get it done

I will be running 6 Mean Well ELN-60-48D dimmable driver.

for each driver I will be running 12 LEDs in series and then 7 of those in parallel

these LEDS are 100 MA and they run 3.0 to 3.6 volts per LED

starting my rebuild of my 504 LED hood for my 90 gal tank

it has 504 10 MM leds. 50% white and 50% blue.

I build it once before and it worked great but started dimming after about 2 months and then finally gave out. This had to of been from over heating. because the 10mm LEDs do not have very good heat sinks.

this time I am going to use more fans, along with LED drivers instead of 12v power source with resisters. I am also making little heat sinks for each LED.

here is the old hood.

I will update pictures with my progress as I go.

I wasn't going to do a build thread on this but I need something to do in between all this soldering.

here is what it looked like before it blew up

visually the only change is that I will be running rows of white and blue because it will be easier to wire.

I have personally driven this thing. very fun and a great buy.

wish gabe would not sell it because now I will have no one to have fun with but it is a very good ride!

So my brand new mp40es vortech I just set up 5 days ago is broken! Actually the wet side is! It is not dirty at all ( it's only 5 days old) I took it apart anyway but it does not help! It just spins up runs for 30 seconds and then spins the whole wetside until it either shuts off or spins it off to the bottom of the tank! I guess I will call Ecotech tomorrow and hopefully get this resolved!

call ecotech they will take care of you.

I had the same issue. I think they had a bad batch go out. it seems the tolerance in the ceramic bearing it to tight.

I ground it out just a little and it worked until I got the replacement.

warning though they told me not to do this but I did it anyways. I mean they were sending me a replacement so I didn't think it mattered

just send you another PM

sold!

yeah I feel you. I almost painted it.

it would not be that hard but now I don't have too

I think I am going to build my own now

this thread can be deleted.

SOLD this can be deleted

I love the color of this light but it is just not going to work for me

it is too bright for my taste and I burnt a couple corals.

it is 6 inches by 24 inches by 2 inches

for info please google search orphek

I am selling this for $600. new it is $950

it is in great shape. only used it for 3 days

I have 2 400 watt retro fit. well it is in wood hood but it is kind of ugly

I also have the odysea 2 250 DE MH hood. I replaced the CF with 4 T5s

let me know if you are interested.

is the 120 Gal 4 foot wide? does it have built in over flow?

this is my first time!

s-h-a-r-e t-h-e l-o-v-e

did I do it right?

I FEEL SO USED! LOL

(whistle)

the one I bought back then was yellowish. but that is what i wanted for the refugium. I bought another one to add to it and they both run now all night long.

the new one was a bright white. it seems to be doing great. I have even put zenia and mushrooms down there and they stay alive. they do not get very big or look really great and healthy but they are down there.

would you ship?

please PM me

to bad you are in washington I would take the calc reactor......

Do I get a 4 inch frag? LOL (laugh)

that coral is SWEET lookin

I have been wanting an Achillies tang for 3 or 4 years now. Every time I ask a LFS to get me one they say they ordered it but it didn't so up. can anyone get one of these? any fish stores in Portland have these in stock? how much are they?

I would be willing to drive up there if I can get 1 or 2.

Let me know!?

I have read a lot about them also. I know that they are hard to keep and are temperamental.

this is a challenge that I really want to take on.

I have had a purple tang for over a year and am really looking forward to something differnet.

I just love the way these fish look also.

I got one of these at wal-mart for about 35 bucks. I use it on my refugium. grows the algae great and it has been going for about a year no with no issues. if anyone cares

LOL funny story

I had one just like this. My temp probe was off and my tank was about 91 degrees. once I fixed it, the Red Bubble went back to normal after about 5 months. My hammer turned florescent green also. my local fish store gave be double trade in for it because he liked it so much. told him it would probably go back to the normal color but he didn't care.
