My understanding is that a grounding probe will make it more likely (though I guess not ensure) that if there's current in your tank, some of it will be diverted to ground, tripping your GFI.

Right -- icecap only has one option: on or off. I wonder whether they could modify it for you? You could ask in the...

People seem to have good results. Heat is an issue, though. Wouldn't want to do it without good ventilation in your canopy.

You get more light out of the same set up. Basically, the icecap allows you to turn high output bulbs into very high output bulbs.

Suppose you have four 48" t5 bulbs in your canopy. With...

Thanks all. I was looking for a way to do it without draining my tank. It would require about a 50 percent water change to get it dry.

What is acrylic glue? Is it like silicone?

So, just to make I'm understanding right, a branching Euphyllia is more easy to control if it starts to grow out of hand?

Either way,...

Wire management on t5 retro

So, I'm adding t5 lighting with a retro fit kit.

Seems like an awful lot of wires coming from the canopy. What do people use to manage their wires and keep them from getting crazy. Any pics?
