Thanks!

Water changes are done bi or tri weekly, that's I try to do it biweekly but some times it becomes 3 or sometimes 4...☺️ Summer time, too much to do outside. I do still run biopellets along with 1 no3 brick directly underneath my drain with no filter sock. I also have 1 marine pure block and a bag of marine pure bioballs. Recently set up a chaeto reactor using a tlf 550 reactor and strip light from jl aquatics, so far its working great. I haven't ran any phosphate and carbon media for a long time and running on a year and a half old 36w uv light. Hope that helps.

Have you thought of selling carbon credits with the amount of CO2 that the corals have bound into their skelies.

Default xho dimmerable led control



Bought one of these for my profilux.....came in with rj11 cat 5 connector but the profilux runs on rj45 phone jack connector. Contacted profilux north america support and Vince was so helpful he even sent pic on how to connect it to there lbf module.



I did some testing and found the appropriate wires but after I assembled the unit one channel was working but the other one wasn't....45 minutes later scratching my head I decided to open up the dimmerable unit and found they messed up on the connection internally, one channel was orange wire for + and striped orange for -, the other one was green + and strip blue....wtf.....grrrrr. 2.5 hrs later...success!
