<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">what crap, what do you mean? Oh the remote.. actualy I love the shaw digital cable, better than satalite actualy my parents have satalite and I wasn't impressed with the local channels and all the rest is the same. except I don't get a fuzzy picture when there is a storm.. actualy the one thing I am disapointed about is I was kinda led to beleave that it was high deff (my own niativity I guess) so I bought a high def TV and the pic is just a tiny bit better (lots better with a dvd though, hehe)

Hey steve, looks awesome. Can't wait to get my reflector material off you, It look like really nice stuff. How did you bend it so nicley though? My halide is itchin' for a reflector, tinfoil ain't cuting the cheese. The pictures almost makes me want to get more off you. Also, should we pre-order that sand from Hillside?

naa she is getting lots in no need to preorder..

I can thank Silverfish for the clean bends, well I did them but it was his brake that I used to do it. was pretty easy after the first one :D

I use DirectTV, this rules!{picture is way better} Even when we had all that snow there was no fade until it built up on the dish, wiped it of twice. Shaw digital is not even true digital it's transformed to digital from analog. Last but not least, At least 5 times I went to watch something and there was no service :mad: , never once lost service on my satelite :D With the money I wasted on the Digital box I could have put into my reef! SORRY for the Inconvenience, but I'm an Audio-Video file!!! :D

well after a mishap which resulted in a broken PC, I final got it all hooked up and running (asided from one PC that is) well here is a pic with the actinic on and the flash on my digital caner on (the bottom of my tank is pink under normal lights)

and here is one with no flash and you can see how much the room gets lit up by this.

the reflectors make a huge difference over my trials with the bulbs just resting on the top of the tank.

StirCrazy, looks awesome! I really like the blue that the PC's give off over NO's & VHO's :D . I use 2 55w hamiltons myself, thinking of getting 2 more!!! :D

StirCrazy · #8 03-09-2002, 10:17 PM

um Jay, the blue is from the three philips 30 watt NO actinic bulbs, my PC is 10000K and the one that broke was 6500K which I am replacing with a 10000K when I go over for the meeting.

My Bad [img]redface.gif[/img] , read through this really quickly. I used to use 2 NO's with no reflector, 3 looks much better than 2 especially with the reflectors ;) , plus with the lights out in that photo it makes it look BLUE!!! ;)

I think steve's NO's are overdrivin, if my memory is working.
