Looks to me like an epoxy with plastic chips sprinkled on.

Also, advice for those using a slit pipe like mine, simply sawing a straight slit didn't work well for double sided. I ended up drilling a series of holes the length of the slit to make scalloped...

Okay, can do. And just as an FYI to you/others, there is a paper backing that isn't ideal, in my opinion. I'm scrubbing it off to have one less unneeded biodegradable substance in the tank. Adding...

Hey SantaMonica, or anyone really, I'm nearly finished with my 2nd version UAS double sided and I've got a couple of those 6x9 mirror cards you sell. Any ideas on how to afix them flush to 1/2" egg...

I've seen seen several others who have used a diffuser and seemed to show improvement. My week old LED build was built with a diffuser from the get go. I think that if you have an imbalance of...

The box for my LEDs is white, assuming that I'd want to reflect rather than absorb it.

I have a bunch of soft coral and I'm wondering if they would gain benefit from the extra "stuff"...

A general scrubber question: Do you all rinse/thaw your cubes of frozen mysis before feeding the tank? I know that seahorse owners are STRONGLY suggested to rinse before feeding to cut back on...

Yeah the glass cleaning might end up being a deal breaker for the UAS as right now mine is in an acrylic sump.

What are people doing to help prevent the massive amounts of salt creep from popping bubbles?

I'm assuming that with the top against the glass the fish were caught in the upstream between the glass and screen.

To help increase bubble contact on a single sided screen what about a slight tilt in the screen? It would seem to force contact while not giving up much in the difference of distance to the lights...

Once I am ready start adding the equipment I'll create a progress thread.

You know before a bunch of life stuff happened, as of a few months ago, my numbers were low but acceptable. Hadn't tested in a while and thanks to your post I tested again and now my Ca and Mag are...

Tank has been up just shy of a year. Everything grows very slowly at my temps, so there is very little spread. As well I don't blast my tank with light as you would a reef tank as I just need...

Added link in my sig with pics.

Really? I had read it was 1/2. 1/6th would make it a no-brainer.

Oh I'm assuming that all of my macro will eventually die. But I'd rather have a healthier system than the macro. I'm looking to add a few more horses this summer and if my current system has issues...

I've been dialing it back for a couple of weeks now. I didn't want to suddenly stop using it as I don't want anything to spike in my system. Plus the weening period will give me time to get my...

I had seriously considered an ATS before but as I have a large amount of macro in my system,that I didn't want to lose, I chose to try vodka dosing. After several months of that my cyano and hair...
