I have a subject for one of our Fall meetings.

[Delphinus]

I haven't forgotten! And I still want one of those purple monti's, it's just that the home I was hoping for it is STILL not ready ...

I've got Kim waiting on me too for one of those BTA's (sorry Kim ... I guess last weekend came and went and ... oh shoot! This weekend has come and gone, too. :( ) I haven't forgotten that either, I just haven't had a chance to get into the 50 and try to wrestle one of the BTA's out yet..

I've been trying to direct my spare time to finishing off my 75g tank. Bob can now testify to the large-scale disaster I have in my basement ... it looks like a hurricane passed through there with PVC and other plumbing bits coming out the wazoo, and scattered across the entire basement.

Tonight I tried firing my two Iwasaki's together for the first time. It was a mistake to wait this long to try BOTH Iwasaki's (these are from my infamous HelloLights.com purchase). I only ever tried one when they first came, and it fired OK. However, it now not only seems as if the other bulb does not fire at all, but ALSO that my second 250W ballast doesn't fire! (One bulb turns on when on one ballast, and neither bulb fires on the other ... and the good bulb that works on the one WON'T work on the other...) :mad: I'm really confused about the ballast, it WAS working a month ago when I tried it ... so why not now?

... sigh ... And another weekend bites the dust.
