So the fish are sold, and the vast majority of the corals. At this point I've got what I wanted out of the sale of the corals -- so it's sort of a free for all now. If you want and frags or bits that...

Tank shutdown Kamloops

Shutting down my 200Gal tank. So first to go is the livestock, then the tank/equpiment. All prices are flexible as I would rather take care of the shutdown sooner than later, so I'm open to offers on...

Dont' use those

I do a LOT of long USB runs at work, the ones that are just a long USB cord with a bit of "active bootsing" just don't work well for the long runs.

220 gal power

I use a couple of fancy network controlled power bars that give me pretty accurate power readings (down to 2 decimals).

why not make it?

Really, a USB cable is pretty simple -- just take a a single short Usb, cut it, and insert a 50' length of Cat 6 STP or even some cheap cat5e cable?

Should only cost about $10 or so to make up...

The other reason for not 100%

Just getting to the original question -- and I'm amazed no one has mentioned or seem to have considered in a build, but the efficiency curve of all LED's in not a straight line. The lumens per watt...

2 Things I've learned.

First -- take a small bit of plexi and drill it first and use it as a guide. I tried plywood, but I found it much nicer to still see what I'm doing. Clamp the guide in place and the bit won't "jump"...

I'm confused

So, his large 12mm glass cracked on the side of the tank, and the "fix" is to silicone (badly) a large peice of 6mm over the crack on the inside?
