Anyone know the grain size of southdown?

Hey RR, Does your friend have a pic of the sump/skimmer. I might be interested in it. Thanks. tisc

I had a hitchhiker crab come on my lr that sounds very similar to the one you described. It had an oval shaped body, tan color with some white, most noticeably on the tips of its pinchers. Its claws were shaped like a predatory crab, and it was about the size of a half dollar when I first saw...

I use RO/DI. Works like a charm, and i bought the system on e-bay for 120.00

Thanks skilos! Quick question....How long do your bulbs last on that magnetek ballast? What about heat generation? Thanks again for all your help :D

Yeah for michigan women ;)

Thanks skilos, Either way, your setup is almost identical to what i want to go with. I just wanted to see how you placed your lights/ballast and a general wiring setup. I think i've got a rough idea of how it all works, but i would really like some visual help/inspiration ;) Thanks. Dont...

Krusk, I found the tar ballasts on ---- for 10.00 bucks, thats why i was wondering. Im not in a rush to get my lights or anything, that auction was just ending soon. If you could find me a good deal on electronic ballasts (like $50) that would be cool. I would probably rather go with that so...

I want to do almost the exact same setup you have. 2 10.00 ballast running vho's and 1 MH. Is there anyway you could post a pic of your canopy and wiring on your website?? I would really be interested. Thanks for the help!

Sgt york, What was your bulb life like with those? Ballast heat would not be an issue for me as well. Bulb life is what concerns me. Im all game if i can rig together a system 100 bucks running 4 vho bulbs.

Holy crap thats a vicious fish Memnoch! <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0" alt="[eek]" />

Good Question, If it were me, i would probably just keep it. Just remember that your water might have some of the algae cells in it, so throw some bleach in your water before you dispose of it. I'd kill the algea by leaving out in the sun for awhile if your going to get rid of it.

thanks for the info krusk, i guess i can forget that.

Whats the point of a nielsen reactor? It seems like it would not accomplish anything very productive at all. Nothing regular kalc mixing couldnt accomplish.

e-bay, he has 126 of them for sale i think....something around that number. It ends in 4 days or so, I definately want to find out if it's worth it.

Yeah, this is the first time i've heard of the problem. BTW how close is clovis to Albequerque. I have a bunch of relatives that live there, and my sister goes to school there as well.

These ballast are being offered online for 10.00 bucks a pop. Is there anyway i could rig a system with these using 2-95watt uri vho bulbs on each ballast?? I want to get a 4 bulb vho system going, and if i could do this i would be pretty happy. here are the specs... Magnetek vho/sho ballasts...
