It's a crazy number of diodes!  Reminds me of the 1watt early led fixtures.  They do fill nicely with so many diodes or at least used to back in the day.  If a person replaced many of those whites with other blue spectrums, it might be a really awesome value.  Not sure if they are still easy to swap out now or require reflow...

Bah bah bah... Best rendition ever (said only reefers hahah)

It's a beautiful thing!

I completely spaced that sale!  Glad someone scored

Huge thanks @jadams7, great to see you, thanks for the tanks!  Christmas will be extra cool this year

This is awesome, lets keep it going.  Once my aptasia are gone, if I can catch some will keep the baton passing through the aptasia ranks!

Thanks again!

They both look great, congrats on you two for keeping them alive and keeping with it.

Looks like Octoboat grew a 1/4"?  Cannot tell on JDog, but that guy can grow coral for sure!  So I agree, would have to vote for the measured frag.

Let's do another one, tank is dialed in, want to throw down!!

It's definitely possible to over-export nutrients.  A phosphate and nitrate test would be a good place to look to answer that question.  Opinions vary on proper levels, I have been shooting for 0.15 phosphate and 5 ppm nitrate myself, but just experimenting.

Dinos are a whole huge topic (and pain) with lots of experienced folks on here that will likely chime in.

Good luck!

Awesome, thanks, ordered!

Mine is an original graffiti design I stole off of a train boxcar.  

Ha, no way!  Often admire that train art..

Awesome stuff people, thank you.  I hope to surprise her for Christmas!

Hey Jeremy! I’ve got 8 of these, might just do the trick. I’m down in Salem, but we might be able to meet up some time? Shoot me a pm if interested 

 

 

Exactly what I am looking for, awesome!

My daughter has an interest in betas, so there are small tanks all over her room.

I would much prefer to get a one tank system for her with partitions.  Kind of like what you see inverts at in reef stores.

What options are available?  Anyone have such a thing for sale?

Classic here, I am Spectra's cousin.

Holy smokes, 156 MPH!  That was intense to watch, incredible!

This is so cool.  I wonder how many reef keepers have mistaken them for small majanos, especially the green babies?  Once they get bright colors I would guess not, but I could see myself making that mistake.

Freaking awesome!  Congrats Bubz!

Those Jebaos are hard to beat. I put one on my closed loop and has not skipped a beat in a couple of years. Just makes me nervous having one as a return pump 😆 but this is not based on a bad experience. Just because you pay more means it’ll be more dependable right 😂 

Good point!  They are so reasonable priced, I run two returns, one per sea swirl.  Just dial them back as necessary.  If one goes out, the overflow is noisy but everything is just fine!  Because, once, getting ready to board a plane, my return quit!  Murphy!!

I have been thinking of switching my reeflo hammerhead out for two Jebaos.. maybe we should chat?

 

Maybe!  I think I have two hammerheads though, but one needs some seal work.

I want two have two, so that if the seals on one goes while on vacation, can switch it over.

Jebao. Silent, dependable, cheap. 

I have several that are 5 years old at this point.  

Same, really tough to beat.

When I move the sump to garage 1 level down, will probably need to switch to the reeflos.

Super deal!  Bump to the top!

Dang!  I should have picked up a piece of that the other night 🤪

This has all been very helpful information.   Would any of you view the Kamoer F4 PRO Wifi 4 Channel doser as an acceptable alternative to the Neptune DOS dosers given the noise they make?   

I am a calcium reactor guy, but... One of the big values of an APEX controlled doser is the ability to control it depending on DOS results. 

So that is where DOS will be tough to beat IMO.

I suppose if ALK was high, you could power down the kamoer until alk drops.  That almost gets you there!

With a calcium reactor, I just disable the solenoid when Alk is too high, and it self corrects.

Haha I suppose it’s all relative. My tank in general is pretty quiet by most standards. Also, when comparing it to other dosers like a DP4 or something that make basically no noise, it’s kind of startling how loud they are. I do accept it as it is going to be overall more accurate with the stepper motor than the little DC motors the cheaper dosers use, however, steppers are capable of running a lot quieter by varying the voltages (as you are probably familiar with).

 

Trident makes its weird little R2D2/Printer/Scanner noises. Not super loud but it is something you get use to. Honestly for what you get from the trident I would accept it being louder 🤣 I run 8x tests a day and love it!

So awesome, I challenge any human to test 8 times a day, the robots will always win!  We don't do repetitive monotonous well!
