480g Brainstorms

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Egon--I thought about sending a congratulatory text that I had to put my broom away :ROFL: It's only a matter of time.

Aldiaz--I remember that thread about soaking in the pool. My jaccuzzi control broke so I was thinking about soaking them in there! Did you have an issue with the chlorine? I think the pieces are too large even for the 96g cans!
 
Flow accelerator update: i have exchanged emails with the rep of Ista. He stated that the 1" accelerator is not extendable. I sent him a pic and asked him to contact me.

Like I said, I snapped off the tip an added more "links" So I basically doubled one unit. They snap togeather like all the other loc-line. But it's pricy $$$


I know I can do it the really expensive way @ $17 a link. It is interesting that the rep of the line wrote "This item cannot be extended. It is only one piece." When we know it is extendable. I am calling BS on him and trying my best to get more links. If I luck out and can get a bunch, do you want some?

No issues with chlorine. The wood mucked up the water a little bit and I had a ton of algae growth on the wood dispite keeping the water chlorinated at around 1ppm. But I don't have a cover for my hot tub so it was getting direct sunlight.

Once you get those suckers water logged, they are going to be heavy!
 
Just got the reef version of the lights...much better! It reaches the bottom and creates a shimmer effect. I do have some spots with shadows but with better placement, I'm sure I can get it how I like. Here is a before and after shot. The current lighting is two 40watt tubes by jebo. Hope you can see a difference with my iPad pics.
