IceCap Lighting is going out of business. That's very sad. Here is the article from another forum if you guys want to read.

Still upsetting. Almost all the ballast and other DIY lighting parts that I have bought have came from them. This with the closing of Paradise Reef upsets me, though i did get a whole load of stuff from the latter. I'll post some pics later. The coral is currently sitting in quarantine.

 

[THEDLO]

yea i have a few of their DIY lighting too.

Led is taking over ? Why didn't they get in on the LEDs?

 

[Jzhou]

It like what Al Ries said in Positioning. It wasn't that they didn't get into LED. But when they did, they were already not the first company to do so. BTW, who was the first company to make LED available to the masses?

I don't know who was the first but I do know that there were many fixtures avaliable in Europe before here. Aqua Ray was mass produced over there well before anything was being sold here.

lol I'm not so sure about that. The poor thing was so closed when i got it on sunday that some of the skeleton was showing. Can't complain though, got everything for around 60 cus of the close out sale.

Actually I wanted to ask you guys do you think the elegance can be saved, the testicles have gotten so short.

lol u said testicles! jk it looks ok they get longer, if it wasnt happy then it wouldnt puff up

 

[Jzhou]

Still somewhat worried about it though.

 

[THEDLO]

just wait and see.

Here is the flat brain i picked up in the liquidation sale to, don't mind the yellow tangs. They are only in the quarantine tank to take out any hair algae that might be on the coral.

 

[THEDLO]
