The frame could be printed sure, but I don't think you could print the rings. The ridges on the rings are to small for most printers to handle I think. They also likely wouldnt be as durable or easy to wash if they were printed. Either way the 4 I have work great. They just get a quick rinse...

If they were sponsors we could make it a club meeting but they havent become one yet

Congrats @scchase !!!

Had one of my T5 fixtures go out the other day. This fixture is the one I had over the mangrove tree and one I got from Premier many years ago for super cheap. When I got it had 1 ballast out but 4 bulbs still worked, so I used it as is. But last week all the ballasts on it went dead and it...

Nice work. Looks great

Coral Farmer Market is coming up at the end of the month. MASC will have a booth there and we will be doing the event raffles. Come and stop by, score some nice corals and maybe win some prizes. More info including how to get tickets is in the link...

Almost all the LFS will carry ATI bulbs, they are pretty much the primary standard for t5s. You can also order them from any online saltwater retailer

I have used t5s for years on various tanks. Currently run them on my mangrove and planted fuge tank. I have a 48" 4 bulb retrofit and a 36" 6 bulb on it. The 36" is over the mangrove and 48" is over the tank itself. Since it planted I mostly use cheaper vivosun 6500k bulbs now, but when I had it...

2 ways to become one, 1st is to attend 2 club meetings a year, and 2nd is to make a yearly donation to the club for $24. You can do that through the Become a member link. Click on the donate button in top right https://www.marinecolorado.org/donate/club-membership.1/

Since you're not a club member you need to host the elsewhere are then link them on the site. This is one of the benefits to being a member

One of my favorites too

This is this Saturday. Hope to see you there.

Sorry on vacation this week so hadn't been on. Glad you figured it out

ICP Analysis is closing their doors for good soon, and as such they are closing out all of their filtration stuff. I ordered a bunch of RO sediment and carbon filters for $5 each, but they also got some reactors chambers, and ro membranes going for pretty cheap too. https://www.icp-analysis.com/

Did you test the new salt mix and compare with previous? Doing that really would be the only way to diagnose possible issues. My guess though, is that the new salt maybe has higher, or lower, alk/ca then previous, and it just threw off the stability for a bit. Likely will correct as stability...

Your math Fu is a bit off there... try again :)

yep still got it

Other options, although maybe not the best option, is to just watch the war for space play out. But ultimately you likely will need to remove the fast growers at some point and replace with some slower ones. Overtime though it inevitable that one coral will end up dominating and taking over. In...
