I guess you should just give them to me since nobody else wants them lol

Talk to Cuttlefish and Coral. They are a great store that's trustworthy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you get people to do frags I'll take a frag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What internet providers are y'all who are noticing it using? I don't think it's a ISP issue but I'm curious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kim your awesome! I would love to participate! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Perfect thanks all! Good to know my tank is healthy enought for them. I got two wrasses in the tank so I'm sure they will be gone pretty quickly.

Wew ok. Ill calm down then. Still considering myself new to this hobbie when I see something new that I didn't put there I freak out a little.

So I just saw these guys tonight. There very think sticking out of my rock and there black and white. I have no clue what they are and they have me a little worried. Not sure where this belonged. Hope the picture works to ID them. Any info would be appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I run two rw-8's in my tank. I like them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I paid 500 for 90g acrylic, stand and canopy, power head, skimmer, cheap light fixture, and a custom sump. I think it's a great deal especially if you can get them to come down 50-100. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I've been working on my tank since about 10am and it's now 4:30. I've cleaned a ton of stuff messed with the sump a little. Also redid some rock ( still want to move a little more around) and just did about a 25% water change. Only dumped about 2 gallons of water on the floor bright side for my wife she got me to mop lol.

I've seen these setup and they are way nice! GLWS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use my apex with a temp probe to turn my heaters on and off. There the easiest thing to fail so it to me is the most important thing to have on a controller. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I was looking these up and one of the thing I saw was the UV's are on the same channel as some other colors. I want to run My UV's at 100% and be able to adjust the rest the colors as I need. Still got to sell my Shotgun before I get my lights so I have some time to do some more investigating/thinking.

So the package comes with 48 lights this puts me at 46 so I'll just order 2 extra UV the grid that I will use on the heat sink will spread it out enough i will be able to add more lights latter. Ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I sent a email to them and yes I was correct on the VDM and it will run all 4 drivers. I also drew up a diagram of how I think I'll set it up if I decide to go with the kit. Still taking a lot into consideration. The biggest this other then I just really want to build it is that if o ever need to replace anything I know how to easily since I built it. I like this a lot vs having to send a light for warranty. I'll upload the diagram in a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://www.neptunesystems.com/led-dimming-module/ So I have no clue what this means it says it can control up to 4 channels but it only has 2 spots to plug something in. Does this mean it will not work? I Think I might have answered this question myself. Each port can handle two drivers since there using the ice cubs kind of like each ice cub can handle multiple phone lines because it separates out each port. So there should be 3 wires on supporting cable for the VDM. One cable is for the first channel, second wire second channel, and the third wire should be a ground to be used by both channels ground wires. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

what exactly is pwm?

I guess there is also 5 different types of violates to choose from... Is it good to do a mix of those guys? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Brian i sure will! So I'll want my UV on a completely separate channel then everything else is what I'm hearing for sure. I can use one of the other controllers for my CW/WW doing all of them on the same one being 14. So does the UV's count as blues to offset that 2:1 Blue to white ratio? If so what I was thinking was 8 UV on one controller and then 10 RB on each of the other two controllers. This would put me at 42 of the 48 lights that come with it so I would still have to figure out what to do with 6 more lights. Not sure of I'm thinking this through correctly.

I'll probably stick with the apex controller only because my brother already has it so its one less huge expense out of pocket right away. The best thing about DIY I can change it anytime I want! Y'all have given me solid advice and i so appreciate it! I spent probably 3 hours yesterday just watching videos on it. Now to sell some stuff so I can afford it! I might hit y'all up for some diagram advice since it looks like I'll be changing the colors a ton. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the input! That's very helpful. I realized after reading more yesterday since I will be using my apex to control it I'll be upgrading to the second driver setup on the list which means I'll be having 4 drivers instead of 2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
