If i were you I would buy a rubbermaid plastic tub and place all you rock and sand in there with salt water as close to 8.4ph you can. Then go and take your power heads and place them in there so the water circulates and place lights over the tub, the stronger the better. Go to the store and buy...

you know I was looking at the pictures of the tank again and REALLY love that design. Could you PM me the name of the company that makes this?!?! I think I understand this correctly but the water from the tank is going to flow through those slits in the plastic and fill up the back chamber then...

when you are refer to "pods" you do mean copods right? I do not mean to jack this thread but I was wondering if I could do the same thing on my HOB emperor 400 biowheel? Cant i just take out the media filters and replace them with LS, LR, a wad of chaeto (spelling?) and a small light? One...

hahah!!!!hahahahahahah that was good

ok thanks guys

I have a 20gLong also, I was wondering, does it bother you that the lights are 3 inchs longer on each side then the tank? I was looking at the same fixture you have but I thought it might really annoy me

So in my dorm I stumbled upon 4 ballasts from what I can assume is normal flourescent bulbs in the halls or rooms. Please explain to me why I can not use these ballasts to build a retrofit light set up for my 20gallon long (only 13" deep). The ballasts are called Mark III Energy Savers. They...

for 300 I think that is a very nice tank! being that a JBJ 29 would run you around 500.

cost?

Do you have any pictures so I could see what it should look like? I am taking my 48" and trying to use it for a 30", no sense in buying a new fixture that has the same watt output and such

did you then just mount the ballast to inside the stand or somthing? where did you put the on/off switchs?

Hey Veeraj87, I just got your message on my thread, I am really excited to see your progess. I do not have any corals YET but my situation is a little different. I am going to have to move the tank in 6 weeks so I refuse to buy anything know I will move it out of my dorm, into my gf's house...

I forgot to mention that I am going to use one side of my biowheel filter's "canisters" to make it into a fuge area. I found this sweet thing with the penguin filters where you take out all the media and make essentially an external sump where I can grow stuff and hide my heater. Just Google...

Hey there, Currently I am running a Emperor 400 with the media filters taken out (just havnt had time to buy clean ones) and an old power head from a company idk (it just says powerhead 301) on it. I am also running "stock lights" but I was thiking of upgrading to a Current USA nova or something...

Is it possible to take apart a light fixture and re-use the system? the reason I ask is because I have a 48" Coral life power compact light (130 watts (2x65)) that I would like to salvage and use on my 30 gallon long (30") but I am not sure if this is a wise or stupid idea... anyone who is good...

Well I am currently setting up a 20gallon Long which is only about 13" high. The light fixture I have is a dual 30watt fluorescent... just a normal light my lfs sold me (hind sight being 20/20 it would have been a little cheaper for me to do so a 12gallon nano but it is what it is). I am in the...

Nice start I cant wait to see how everything turns out... what are you planning on keeping in there? If corals will that light fixture be strong enough?

Ok thats what I was thinking but I wasn't sure.. I kinda liked the idea of using 2 only to illuminate most of the tank (20gallon Long length=30") Thanks for the input, do you have any suggestions on how i can make sure most of the tank will be covered (or do i need to not worry about that)

I am about to buy 2 Viper MHs for !50 and was wondering how long do bulbs typically last and is 300watts of MH light to much for a 20 gallon long (only about 13 inchs deep)

HI! I am pretty new to the Reef tank thing and was wondering if you could tell me when and where the Cleveland frag show was???? I go to john Carroll Univ. and would really love to attend that event
