True enough. Thanks again Scubasteve. But I'm being a smartass. I should start using smileys but too lazy. Would take the ignorance out of my texts. They're all taken the wrong way.

We would never consider it, almost everyone loves that thread!

P.S. :razz:

can't forget the smiley!

I think we should also thank the creator of this thread (sorry don't know the technical term :P). Without his initiative, this thread wouldn't even be in existence! Hats off to Douglas! :D

My experience with LEDs:

+1 on LEDs being perfectly adequate for SPS. I just wish I could figure out how Dez manages to get his iPhone to take such good pictures of his, as my iPhone has a grand mal seizure every time it looks at my tank. The sensor practically explodes when it looks at the LEDs of my radions.

If I can sort that out, I'll have a whole bucket of photos for you (photo-bucket, get it? ;))

I've been an iPhonetogropher ever since the original iPhone came out ;). Experience my friend, experience...

I just can't pull the trigger on LEDs I think I'm going to try one more year of mh power consumption with a bigger light fixture/ more wattage on 180 but build a smaller fixture for my 50... Baby steps and see how I like it before I attempt the bigger fixture.

I know this one uses orpheks. Massive info on that build and the lights colors vs other leds etc..

Is that Mr. Wilson's tank?

Peters tank. Mr wilson is the hired keeper from what I know.
