I will take a carpet anemone please if ones available!

Nice I will be following along I’m sure it will be an amazing time getting that going!

Hey there looking to buy a innovative marine 112 int lagoon tank or something very similar. Let me know if anyone is selling one thank you for any help 🤙

I have some rock covered in them, is that something you would want?

Yea exactly my point, there’s just no way they did not know that they weren’t going to be able to produce ANY before the actual day they were supposed to ship out and if they wouldn’t have let me know I wouldn’t have bought all the gear for it..... I appreciate that though I am trying to figure out a custom tank with Jeff or something 👍🏻

Hey guys, just wanted to share my experience with innovative marine this year take from it what you will. I inquired about the 70 gallon drop off in I believe January, they said that it would be a month and I could then preorder it. So I then had to contact then after letting them know I would for sure like to preorder past the date they had stated and they said I had to wait another month to preorder due to shipping delays. Waited another month contacted them again and they said there was still delays and that it would be 2 more months. Then after going back and forth on these delays they said they would take a preorder with the shipping date mid august. I preordered it and it then said on the website they had them in stock and would ship august as well. Well it gets to this week and I get a call saying they will not be producing them anymore this year or anytime soon and I will be refunded and a 15% discount only on their website. The week it was supposed to ship out they notify me I will not be receiving anything after purchasing all my equipment for the build specifically. I feel as though there is no way possible that they didn’t know a good amount of time ago that they weren’t going to be able to produce them at all and I should’ve been notified way earlier. I am beyond annoyed at this point it sucks that something like this has to happen in such a cool hobby and I think innovative marine was very negligent in the communication of this situation. I was extremely excited to deal with the cool dimensions of a drop off but guess that is not happening anytime soon. Boo hoo to me I guess

Those are sweet!

I also agree with this it looks to be within the “safe” area marked with green on the thermometer showing that the temp is about 72F 🤔

I have seen a lot of torches look this way in shipment and then get them in the tank and they are fine. As for the water temperature I am sure it is so hard predicting wether to put a heat pack or not in this crazy Oregon weather 62 is definitely very low but it still has a chance, good luck!

Seeing the growth from the bottom is super cool 👍🏻 I will take a frag if you still have one too

Yea the smell alerted me to but I was right next to my dog and thought maybe he let one go.... haha yea I definitely agree I would’ve never thought they would burn so quick I thought it would mess up my lights too but they seem to be all good luckily just a day ruiner!

That is actually hilarious I did the exact same thing literally the burn marks are right under her just turned the ottoman around so that sides under the blanket 😂😂

Haha yea I feel like it’s pretty common unfortunately it’s a real bummer when u pick it up and realize, my heart skipped a beat 😂

Yup very silly mistake my girlfriend was not exactly ecstatic

Don’t be like me and be an absolute idiot and set your primes onto your ottoman while setting them up at all... just don’t do it this was easily less then 30 seconds on and just melted it🤦🏻‍♂️

I am interested in trying it, you just put an air stone next to your return pump?

Will you be getting the classic as well?

I agree with all of this which is awesome because it tells me at least I’m kind of on the right track! So thanks fire sharing that, I am heavily leaning towards the 24” hybrid fixture with 3 blue plus bulbs and a actinic bulb and putting two of the new primes mounted on it just worried about hanging it mostly at this point but I have a wood beam about 14 ft up that I would assume should be able to take the 15ish pounds with the hanging kit no problem it’s just old🤔 thank you again for the help

That makes sense to me I will be going for the non dimmable one most people seem to agree it makes sense. You mean just a digital timer that the plug for the light goes into then it plugs into your power strip right? Thanks again for your help👍🏻

I am somehow just thinking of this 🤦🏻‍♂️ How would I tell the light to turn on and off I guess just an outlet timer would be the best bet if I don’t get the dimmable or the Powermodule which looks amazing

That is exactly the info I was looking for thank you very much for that explanation!! I’m really thinking that I will do this fixture because if I do this and hang it rather then the rail system with 2 hydra 32’s it is only about 100 and some change more and adds a lot of light to the tank.... my other option is just one hydra 64 in the fixture instead of two hydra 32’s for a 36” long tank I’m thinking 1 hydra 64 might be enough? Appreciate your info thanks again makes me want to do it for sure now 🤔

Awesome thanks for the info especially on the bulbs that is what I was thinking no way I would be disappointed just worried about hanging from 15 ft mostly I guess. Also did you ever feel like you needed the dimmable version? Anyone else reading this I would like your input on that as well the dimmable ones are a good amount more and require a controller

Going to put 2 hydras over a 35” tank and need the multi tank mount, rail and actual mounts for the hydras to go into the rail. Let me know if anyone local has one or I will just go the buy online route but thought I might as well check if someone local has one. Thanks for your time!

Hey there I am looking to get a drop off tank and am thinking that the simple style that I’ve had where they’re mounted off the back with a bending arm won’t work for the length of the tank and it is peninsula style so not wanting to mount off of the viewing glass.... so I am thinking hanging the light would be best? My ceiling is about 15 ft high above the tank is the only thing anyone see an issue in that? I guess another option could maybe be the rails mounting option but not sure if those are strong enough either.... That said I think it would be very nice to do a t5 led hybrid and wondering if people have experience with one or know of one they can recommend. Also what bulbs to run with the hybrid. Thanks for any input🙏🏻

Can I ask what bulbs people are adding in with their t5s and led setup and what you plan on adding bulbwise?
