lastlight's 28

[lastlight]

Things I need to do (I'm posting here so you guys can pretend to care lol):

- Replace bulb
- Get me some ROX 0.8
- Replace membranes and filters for ro/di (this initial fill is 100% tapwater)
- get new airstone for the 'skimmer' <-- Geez
- Find replacement for my Ranco temp controller which I borrowed back for now
- Continue praying yesterday's top temp of 82F is not exceeded before summer comes and we hopefully get central AC!

I couldn't help but LOL in the office when saw a new thread from you. How long will this one last?

Wanna frag a head of that Torch! Looks like you got a few extra!

Good to see you back.. I'm going to have to check out your 392.. I don't recall that build.

There is aiptasia galore in here so not sure you want a frag. There is a smaller 4 head piece I could trade though?

The pictures are no longer there for the 392 I will have to dig around to find them in my photo library some day. It was a big ugly tank nuff said!

Welcome Back!!! Seeing you starting to post again, had to assume something was up! Congrats on the 28, its cute!!

Just so glad to see you back!

I've got ZERO to trade.. shame it is aiptasia infected. Maybe I'll pass.

I honestly think a tank of this size is begging for LED's of some kind. (I say this being a card carrying member of the Losers without LED club). But seriously, a halide over 28 gallons in 2012 is kind of silly.

- Get me some ROX 0.8

Vertex packages ROX 0.8 now and you can get it from everyone's favourite tank builder (new and improved formulation now with moar Newfie content too)

Hey, don't knock the counter current skimmers. Pound for pound they are still among the most effective skimmers (yeah, replacing airstones and airpumps is a drag)

See above re. LED's

Tony I'm back because I'm getting back cheap. Replacing a single bulb every year (hey a 4 year old stock bulb kept the torch alive pretty well so maybe it can last longer!) that looks really nice vs going with a $400 LED unit that I won't even like the looks of.

Is the Vertex ROX the real deal? I'll have to get some once Dave gets my bulbs and ro/di stuff in.

Thanks guys. Creeping the forums silently out of habit just felt wrong ya know?

I'd give it a think.

And yes, the Vertex Rox is the real deal...
