Welcome! I need to get some bulbs and I'll test them out with the Apex in the next couple weeks.I look forward to your take on these lights. I'm seriously considering them over a 40 breeder with two Kessil A360X's

Thanks, I am sure I will find this limiting, and frustrating at times, but I hope I can stick with it, and maybe bring some awareness of the issues along the way. It will also be interesting to see what diversity can be achieved even with today's still limited availability. I am starting to build my wish list now, and will share when the time gets closer to start stocking the tank.Just found this thread. Looking great and love that your doing only aquacultured species
Sounds good, hopefully you can get more captive bred fish than me, America has much more breeders than AustraliaThanks, I am sure I will find this limiting, and frustrating at times, but I hope I can stick with it, and maybe bring some awareness of the issues along the way.

Ah yes. When you have so many sources of wild caught nearby, I'm sure that makes it more difficult to make a profit on tank raised fish, so fewer people try to do it commercially right now. Also, it's just such a new thing, hopefully as more people start trying it, and get better at it, the costs will come down. It doesn't hurt for us to promote it as much as possible as well, so people are aware it's even an option... There might also be additional hurdles in general bringing non-South-Pacific fish into Australia, not sure.Sounds good, hopefully you can get more captive bred fish than me, America has much more breeders than Australia
generally our quarantine rules are quite strict but I think if we have the fish in already wild caught we should be able to captive breed themAh yes.

Hooray!!!!
Yes, I am excited, but I'm so stressed that I will have to send it back for some stupid reason, then wait another month or two for it again... that's my luck anyway... here's hoping it's awesome and can be delivered soon!Love this. Just went through it all. Can't wait to see the tank!
The tank will be delivered directly to the LFS and they will verify, then I will go check it out, if it's not perfect i won't pay the remaining amount on it... Fingers crossed all will be well...Just be sure to open the crate and inspect the tank BEFORE you sign for it. FedEx tried telling us we couldn’t open before we signed, because they knew they damaged my stand. But if you sign it first then the damage is on you and not them.
I went and picked up the stand and sump from the LFS warehouse. No damage, but there are a few issues with both. I'm still considering if I am going to be able to work around these, or if it's a show stopper, at least with the stand.YAY! Let's see the sump!
