Taken me 8 years to get there :slfg:

The control boxes for the lights were hard to get to so Frog made some sliding shelves and a smaller one for the pump controllers Much better just got to do the other 4 boxes now and learn how to set the pump controllers to work off one master, I had the holder style and did an upgrade.

Yes I love my Leds best thing since sliced bread. I am in a different situation to most because of the size of the tank and the budget I was limited to what I could afford but as it turned out after much research I got very good lights!! I was having trouble with 10 x 250watt metal halides over the tank causing extreme heat, all last winter the heating didn't come on and the chiller ran much of the day. The purchase of the Led lighting has turned the problems with heat over the tank around now the chiller hardly comes on. I have had them for two months now and the coral growth and colour is still good, the viewing is much more pleasant and the fish love the sunrise - sunset affect all done by the control boxes. The other plus is it is going to save a fortune in electricity and the annual change of 10 metal halide bulbs and 8 artinic bulbs every 9 months!!!!! If anyone wants some metal halide lights I have some forsale :slfg:

Looking forward to the photos

I have moved to leds as well finding them great :thup:

Totally agree there is something wrong with where they are collecting their water. I have collected for 8 years and puttputt for much longer never had readings like that :dunno:

Yep well put :thup: Novelty tanks can end up just that novelty

Just following suit :roll:

Thats a terrible result do they have a fresh water outlet near the take up pipe?

This info was borrowed form here http://www.reefreflections.co.nz/aquanet/765-skimz.htm for more info have a look

Thanks so much for the encouragement I have taken it all on board, yes I to have made some wonderful friends during the course of starting marines eight years ago FNZAS was the first forum I joined back then with a little nano tank I have read and learned to get where I am now with the help of many marine people, for the last couple of years I have been trying to return some of that knowledge. I must say that the freshwater tanks on this forum are wonderful a credit to you all
