I posted this via PM about my lighting.... Many black boxes can be hacked into your apex if you have the time and desire.


I have the reefbrites which are dimmed via the apex. The black boxes are all wired to the apex for on and off. Plugged into a power bar on each channel so I dont hog up all of the apex outlets. This most recent set isnt analog drivers so I cant easily wire it to the apex. If the drivers are analog dimming you can easily hack them to dim with a VDM channel. If they're PMW, you need a converter to dim them. In my case, they are resistive dimming which is too much work to hack. I also run two T-5 actinic+ bulbs over the tank for 5 hours a day.

I built my own overflow box to accommodate the holes that were already drilled into the end of the tank

It used to be, but now I have cheap Mars Aqua. I immediately changed the spectrum with new emitters before they went over the tank. There are 16-18 white of varying spectrum, one red, one green 2-4 UV and the rest RB with about 4 baby blue.
