Thank you for the kind words.
The Kole and PBT have been with me for 3 years. I introduced the yellow tang a year ago because my buddy bought a purple tang and it didn't get along with the purple. Now he shut his system down and I bought that same exact purple tang 6 months ago. there are always some fights here and there. but tonight was the only time I've seen ripped fins on my Yellow. Most likely from my PBT. Dic head lol

Yes I did, unfortunately the shading was just too much for the SPS to handle.
My tank should have had 3 if not 4 xr30 to properly light a sps dominated tank.
Now I'm running a 6 bulb sun power with XHO. Nothing beats an XHO for colour. Pricey but well worth it.

Heres a fun little build - 8 bulb ATI Power module

So a friend gave me this non working corroded PM. Is was a mess. So I decided to see what i could do with it. The project isn't finished but I think I got a good start on it.

Stripped it down to the bare bones and tossed all the wiring in a box.

The wiring, oh the wiring! At first it was very confusing, but once I figured out the wiring it was pretty simple. 1 out of 4 ballast don't work, a few loose and corroded wires and 3 corroded sockets and were back in business!

I plan on making this a 6 bulb hybrid so the one bad ballast didn't bother me.
It would have been a 4 bulb hybrid had 2 ballast weren't working lol.

Sanded, degrease and primed!

Going light speed red on this one

and with Black Ops package lol

Next step is to install reflectors and put it back together. I Havant decided on the led part. I would like to do 2x 36"XHO, but they are very pricey these days. I just paid $750 cdn for one 60"
Any suggestions? Custom led strip? Thoughts and advice please.

Since my last post a lot has gone down. I'll add more photos as I go.
I had the day off and was really shocked at how my tank is doing. So I did a quick little video. My first time . I hope everyone enjoys it.

Glad your back and you didn't sell that bad boy- nice to see you moved back to ATI power!
