Urgh seriously.

Congrats!!!!

And good luck with the new tank! Do your parents not like you? o_O Do they have any idea how much work a 400g tank is to maintain? You will have 2 full time jobs now!!!! :eek:

:p
Three full time jobs, if she keeps the 240 also. A lot of saltwater to maintain, but if she can get through med school with a 4.4 GPA, I think she can handle it. :-)
 
Hello,

Yes my parents are adorable and lovable, but they are soooooooooooo crazy lol. I’m not even sure this size would fit in my house lol it may have to be smaller. I’m pretty darn good at math and don’t think glass bends around corners lol with out shattering.

As far as being single it has its perks and not so hot perks. But that’s just like anything in this life time, grass is never really greener. My dad always said I could starting dating one I hit 65 years old. Gosh by that time, lol I’d be grouchy and tired.

Once I hit 30 I realized that “white picket fence” fantasy may not happen for me. What I expected in life turned into my appreciation for what I had in life. I was comfortable with being single. And then within a year I met my awesome wife. Life is just funny like that.

Unless you are a clownfish, being single is always better than being with the wrong person.

Similar to me, except I knew I was picky when it came to women and had no desire to have a family. I was content to wait until I found the right person which didn't happen until I was in my early 30's. Had to coerce her into marrying me, but life has been fantastic since! I am one lucky guy!
 
Lol you two crack me up lol. I haven’t had much of a life except school for the last 20 years. I definitely taking my time to just finally have the chance to say, I’m watching Disney movies all day or something silly. I have no doubt that I don’t know who I am, but I have no clue what else I wanna do. It was always graduate first and have a good job, well I have those now yay. So now that I’m crossing that bridge lol I feel like Wiley Coyote opening a new package from the ACME company.
 
Urgh lol little late but see what happens when I’m tired lol, I forget to proof read. But in my prior post I was suppose to say I do know who I am. I have written my name now for almost 21 years, and been called by my name for 25.5 years I better be a Sarah lol. If not I’m gonna have a stroke and fall down a flight of stairs.:)

Dang real life problems.

Congrats on the new tank. :-)
 
@hybridazn well lol initially about my nephews believing my sump tank on my 240 was a toilet and kept urinating in it. So initially I freaked out because well who pees in there sump? Well truth be told lol lots do. But for most of the good half of this was about that. It then spiraled into several other topics at once, but still has always maintained focus around my 240 tank. It was an experience getting my first large sps order online to, my parents getting me a 400 gallon as a gift, to my tank again, to just people having a nice conversation lol. But I’m hoping as you have read my thread it’s made you smile and laugh a few times I’m hoping. If not I’m sorry I will try harder:) everyone deserves to laugh and smile at least once a day:)
 
Hello,

@hybridazn lol I do have lots and lots of pics that I can still post if it will help. Another thing that may help is I still have all the Dr. Suess books from when I was little, and I read them to my niece. I have green eggs and ham, Horton hears a who, and one of my favs oh the places you go, and another great one is I’m not going to get up today, (lol that’s everyday for me ), and this works great for you :) and I can read with my eyes shut. If you want to borrow these by all means, but I totally have to get them back. (Jk) but hoped you smiled and laughed:).

But do you have @redfishbluefish one fish two fish? ;)
 
@Brew12 yes lol silly that’s a classic one. I read it to my fish at least once a week. They all gather around my Maximus clam for story time. Fish are like kids, they need bedtime stories also. I have 90% of all the Dr Suess books:).
Lol, will you read me
Go Dog Go!

Haven't heard that one in a while.

Hello,

Of course I will read to anyone who loves the work of Dr. Suess and watching saltwater fish go ohhhhhh and awe to it. They truly are amazing books, it’s what sparked me to read so much as a little girl. I will say lol, my uk accent really comes out badly when I read lol. So don’t throw eggs at me please. But, with that said I really do read my fish a bed time story yes I’m such a dork, but they are my kiddos.
 
Lol, will you read me
Go Dog Go!

"Stop dog stop! The light is red.
Go dog do, it's green ahead."

I feel like I know them all by heart.
 
Hello,

Okay need help with some thing quick and either I’m tired or I forgot some of my math somewhere. So in light of my tank doing amazing, I have the two 72 inch orbit marine pro equalled out because they have 60 degree lens right. So I was lucky and found a third one, which gets here Thursday. Side note they are discontinued and still 809 dollars wow. Anyway we all know it’s 60 degrees and we have calculate the critical angel deviation by using inverse sine. Because of refraction from air to water changes as density. Most of the time this is done with a 90 degree to a 45 degree in which we find the angle of refraction with the equation I attached (had to write on my laptop, but if memory serves me right, should be written correctly).

So we know the current marine pros produce 60 degree lens, which I assume is at all angles in a 3.14 aka pie. Or am I wrong? For example each led light is one light which produces one ray. In which the lens I’m assuming shatters it into multiples, or does it enhance one direct beam? The light will travel faster through air, and then slow as it hits water and goes deeper.

So in adding my third light, which they are each 2 inches over a 24 inch span. They are strip lights covering 72 inches in which we can also use the FWHM equation right. But since there are three light waves are (well even with two) going to interact with each other.

If I have lost anyone, lol strip lights have less shadowing then puck style leds. Strips are similar to coverage as t5, (just coverage in length). But, how many of our light waves are cancelled out, by the other lights? I’d assume by finding the critical angel of the light each positioned accordingly woukd tell me my refraction rate, and light cancellation. Am I wrong on this or using the wrong equation?

Um, my 47 average in high school trigonometry means I don't really know.

But if you're asking should you space them out evenly, front to back, maybe favoring the front a little, yes. Do that.
