you play eve? i played that once and i was like........ *** do i do??? so complicated. That game makes keeping a reef easy as cake.
well seems to me the idea with the thick metal is that it can retain a lot of heat, but cools and slow VERY slowly. however the only concern i have...
seriously? my ballast must suck because mine looks nothing like your guys. Mine seem so much dimmer/purpleish.
whats ur thoughts on the quality of the heat sinks. So far all LED heat sinks i have seen have been REALLY thick so the bulb life lasts longer. are...
ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Dunno what to do now. Dont got the money for a new ballast. Guess this will have to be put on the back burner.
so the real issue here is that im using a non-brand name ballast that is lower quality than others?

Spread a sheet of 1/2" or better yet 3/4" plywood over the top extending to all four corners and the weight will distribute evenly over the studs to...
looks awesome to me. Its built well incase u wanted to upgrade to a 20/29 later. U should see my stand, I went wayyyy overkill for my 40 gallon. I...
