Really the bulb is in the center?? Pictures ive seen of hoods with the single bulb show it off to one side. Adam

Maybe i can have my dad weld some support legs and attach them to the side of the hood. How much will the lights increase the temp if they just rest right on the aquariums? Cuz it will be a while after i get it before he actualy would finish the support legs. Adam

I was lookin around and i found that coralife makes mounting legs. But they are for their aqualight pc light hood. You can buy the legs. Would they work if i found a way to attach them to the hood. They dont raise it 6 inches though. Only 2.5 inches. Adam Is there another company that makes...

I did a search for light supports but i didnt find anything that helped. Ill try it again. My tank is 46 gallons. 36" wide. Im not to good at handy work. How would you support it above the aquarium? Other than the ceiling or the walls. Are there brackets you can buy that hook onto the...

It is already an assembled hood and i dont have a canapy for the tank. Where can i get these brackets to suspend it by the tank. There cant be any wires or holes int he wall or ceiling. Adam

Well ive got really really bad news. Today my PC actinic hood stopped working all together. Any my parents wont let me get the MH hood. Ill get them to change their mind though. Now this 6-8 inches above the aquarium. How do i do that? Should the hood come with supports? Cuz my parents wont...

What do you mean it stopped working? Cuz mine pumps water but it does not skim. I dont know what to do with it. I really really hate it either under skims or it over skims. And there are tons of bubbles that go right into the tank. I have been running skimmerless for a while now. I dont...

I found a resonably priced mh hood. My parents just barely agree with the price. It is advanced aquatics. Deluxe Aluminum Metal Halide and Super Actinics Systems have corrosion proof paint on the inside of the aluminum hood, UV stabilized absorbing lens, fan cooled and quick disconnects. Also...

Thank you! Thank you! Was beginnning to lose all hope from this BB. Those Are amazing pics. Both of your tanks look amazing with the new lights. Did either of you have problems with the corals adjusting to the new lights? If and when I switch to mh/vho should I start out with the lights on...

Just wondering if anyone has pics from when they upgraded from PC to VHO or MH. Adam

I would search and i have tried the search but I hate it. It is always to vague. It either searches the entire post and gives you hundreds of replys or to little. Anyway. I thought it would be nice post myself. I mean this is a great site, but after the first year my posts were either...

Thanks waterfaller1. At least someone seems to care. I stopped coming here cuz it seemed no one was replying. So now I stay in the shadows and look at threads that seem interesting interesting. Does anyone have pics...I know there are but where?????? Please.... :help: Adam

I just dont like the over all look they give to the tank. They were fine when i first started....i thought they were the best. Then i did more research and found out about MH. Right now im trying to convince my parents to let me get a new mh and vho hood. But I also need a ro/di unit. But id...

Im thinking of maybe finally convincing my parents to let me upgrade my lights to mh and vho hood. But it is $440 so that probably wont sit well with them. It has one 175 watt mh and two 95 watt vho. It didnt the first time.:rolleyes: They forbid me to buy them. And i also want an ro/di unit...

I have three 55 watt pc bulbs. I absolutely hate them! These types of lights disgust me...but that is my opinion. I have two 10,000k on my tank with one actinic. The one actinic is just barely enough. I think the next time i get new bulbs I'll get a 50/50 instead of one of the 10000k bulbs...

Well here we go. At school i am taking a class called Narragansett Bay studies. We have been studing different areas and aspects of the Bay and we are also learing some of the general marine biology. We have to do this project on any animal found in the worlds oceans. My animal is the Yellow...

We have about a foot at my house and the high winds are blowing it in large snow banks next to our back door. The street i live on is never plowed and my brother and i spun out of control into a snow bank. Adam

I actually like the "6-packs" whether or not they are in an appropriate section. They are fun to look at and give great inspiration..... I have been on this site for a long time and im not sure but i think that the 6-packs started before the photography section. Also them being in the reef...

I like the red-faced batfish...To bad i dont have an aquarium big enough for one.....:rolleyes: Adam

Dont take my idea on this unless other people say it is a good on. Not sure if it would work or if it is a bad idea or not but... try leaving the rock out of water for awhile. I know i had taken out a rock to scrub the algae off it. And the bristle worms came out while the rock was out of...
