I used to live somewhere nice (Tampa) then I moved to Tennessee. My actual opinions of said state are not appropriate for this forum. I will not...
Final straw was tonight. Every 30 seconds or so, she would kick up large patches of sand. She had a section of the tank down to bare glass. Then I...
This dude is chillaxing in the sump. Offering locally for $5. Just want to see it get a good home.
How would you recommend to filter the RFI from the ballasts?
Very interesting. If it were a cheap GFI I assume it would have less tolerance for RFI? I unfortunately do not have a way to remotely install my...
I do not think I was clear, sorry. I mean I unplugged the other two, and ran each trio separately. In other words, the left one was the only set...
I used 2 different GFI's, and all ballasts / bulbs /pendants were fired independently from each other. So each trio (pendant / bulb / ballast)...
Hopefully not. If it's the wiring in mine, there's nothing I can do, as it's an apartment. Pretty much every outlet has a dedicated breaker though,...
Well that would just suck, and be a bit unlikely that 3 brand new ballasts and 3 completely different fixtures would all have the problems, all...
Your ballasts would be electronic and contained in your fixture :)
My ballasts are Vertex electronic ballasts. I will check for the FCC sticker. They cause my Apex temp probe to freak out, but that's not unusual...
My GFCI strip was rated for 20 amp. My entire tank runs 15-16 at peak. My lights are retro, but Kacy has a Tek fixture that I highly doubt has...
So how would you recommend tracking down what is causing the problem. Each one of my MH trips the GFI. They can run for hours with no issues....
Around 6 months, maybe less. I will watch his, if I like what I see, I will then convert half my tank. I'll see how I like it, then convert my...
Co-worker of mine is DIY'ing a fixture for his office nano (30g cube). Par estimates are the equivalent of a 400 watt MH. He's actually tuning it...
He took the rim off with no added bracing. Not needed.
Bill (poolkeeper1) on here did that to his 59 gallon. It looks great and is holding water just fine.
I could see the salinity being an issue - 8dkh isn't horrible but the salinity is way off. 1.025-1.026.
I also worry about this. I am often away from my house for a week at a time, and I would be all different kinds of pissed if it tripped while I was...
I bought mine from Premium Aquatics for $240 for one 48" bar. Note this is the equivalent of 2 T5's (has awesome spread), so for 100% LED lighting...
