Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Hmm, I'm tearing town my current take soon and have an AI prime. Probably won't do you any good, but I could offer the Light and goose neck for somewhere around $130.
 
Anyone wanna provide a Christmas miracle and sell me or donate a decent reef light that won’t break my bank or get me divorced. I really want to introduce corals soon but need a starter light to get me going. Figure I ask here :)
I got one.
60w, hardly used, easy to use and program, tank mount.
PM me your address and I'll ship it out.
Give me a couple of days.
 
Hi everyone just got home from the nursing home they called the family in for my mother in law. The hospice nurse thinks she may go within the next day or so. Letting you guys know if I disappear for a bit don't worry I will be back. Hugs to you all and prayers for my family are much appreciated.
Oh Amanda good vibes to you and all the family!
 
I've also got a 4 bulb, 24 inch t5
It won’t cover the whole tank but it will give a TON of light.
Works great, can go on the lid or you can hang/customize.
You can have both
T5 has no bulbs.
 
I’m so excited, I had a previous co-worker text me on Thanksgiving to tell me she was thankful for me. She moved to the next town over. She worked the front desk and we worked together for 1 1/2 years together and we are going to lunch together tomorrow. We were the A team. Be prepared for some chimichanga pictures tomorrow.

You Rock Joel! That shirt on your back, can I have it?
 
God, I feel like I really let you down @Kipp's Corals , I have a flashlight I could send you. Pm me your address.
 
Ok so I found 2 nicrew hyper reef 150w lights new for $100 online.
Seeming kinda weird????.
Anyone know anything about these?
I like Nicrew. Not as much as my Noops but they're a decent light for inexpensive.

I have a Nicrew 150 and a Nicrew 50, so far so good, the only thing I need to do is measure the par but good for now
 
Ok so I bought these two....

It seems like a joke but I bought them using PayPal so it's guaranteed.
Stuff like this never happens to me so I'm assuming I'm getting scammed somehow.
They're probably 1st generation lights on overstock or damaged packaging but who knows....
I might get them.
