I got it off of a guy in Kamloops 2 or 3 years ago. He survived the greyhound shipping.:lol:

Just went back and looked. Got it August 2011. Was 3.5" at the time

Great tank!

How big is the copperband now? What do you feed him? How often? (I have a 3 inch one myself).

When myself or my wife are home in the day all my fish get fed 3 times a day. If not than twice a day. I make my own frozen food. The CBB is probably 5" now. Model citizen in the tank.

Well after 2 years of using Sols I've finally come across a problem with one of them. I don't know why but one of my fixtures has decided not to ramp up or down with the rest of the lights. It seems to be stuck at 100%. I'm just waiting for a couple more wireless adapters to show up and see if that'll fix the problem. I'm hoping it's just the data cable connection.

Not familiar with how they work, but can u swap cables from one to the other to see if its a problem with the control or the cord?

Well there's only 2 now that are hooked up with the data cable. The others have the wireless adapters and i'm waiting for more to arrive in the mail. Hoping that it will solve this problem. If not than it looks like i'll be saving my allowance up for 2 of the Hydra 52's, but really thats my plan anyways.:lol:

Well the wireless adapters came for my lights and it didnt help the one Sol fixture so it must be the control part of it.

So something new.

Well after a little research I got creative in my basement today and decided to build one of these.
I had some Ecoexotic LED fixtures kicking around, a Mag 8 pump, and a bunch of PVC.

I'll be running the 2 red LED fixtures for 18hrs a day. Supposedly red grows algae. I may have to get some pieces of plastic to block the light from every where else. I'm a little curious to see how this expirement turns out. I guess I really am old school now:lol:

Nice controller in the background

What your thought with this new contraption?

Well I asked the question on Algae Scrubbers and no response. So I guess I'll be the guinea pig. I should have tested nitrates first but I haven't had one of those kits for several years.
