My Outer Orbit 150x2 39x4 T5HO came in today! Attachment 197230 I have a 46bow so the light is just a little big for the tank. I had to rig the legs a bit to work for now. The light will get hung as soon as a have a little more time. The HQI's sit perfectly on either side of my center brace (no...

Current has an outer orbit 2x250 with T5 lighting for your size.

Mine is silent. I believe there is somethign in the manual about opening the back and swithcing some pins around. Mine came silent when I bought it.

My tank has been up and running for about 4 weeks now. 50lbs of base rock. About 20lbs of live rock. 1'' fine sand bed in the DT. Mud and argonite in the fuge along with cheato. I believe I missed the ammonia spike, my readings are still clearly 0. My nitrites have been .1ppm for the past few...

So in my quest to set up my 46g bow right this time, I knew I had to upgrade my lighting. In my past efforts to get this tank going I bought a 192W JBJ PC lighting system. I knew I would like to create a reef tank, but bought this without doing the proper research (this item with be in the...

Mag 7 has a 1/2'' threaded male on the output and a 1/2'' female on the input. Great pump, I have one.

Originally Posted by genzod66 how do you clean filters,like the 3 canisters?? Most are replaceable, not cleanable.

Several issues could cause this problem 1. Low input pressure. (do you have a gauge?) 2. Clogged, dirty pre-filters. (Do you have a carbon filter or a sediment filter?) 3. Fouled RO membrane. (Membranes need to stay wet, if not used they need to be stored or flushed frequently) 4. Change in...

I have a little Marineland adjustable 50-100gph pump that does the trick on my ATO. Just make sure whatever pump you buy had a head clearance over what you need. Some small powerheads will not pump water 5' high.

Originally Posted by T316 Is this fuge visable in the room? I still haven't figured out why folks want to set up a fuge with so much detail....lights, etc. Does the cheato need lights Not much detail to mine, just followed what others have recomended. Of corse plants need light. My fuge is in...

So if you have read my past few threads my 46g bow is back up and running. My 20g fuge if filled with about 10-15gal of water, has a 1''' mud bed and a 1/2'' argonite cap. I also have two softball size pieces of cheato. The fuge also houses my heaters, corallife SS, ATO, 18w of 6700k PC...

Originally Posted by T316 I wouldn't even count that as a problem What size tank are you running this mag7 on? You don't won't too much flow, as in blowing stuff around... 20g sump 46 DT. it has a 3-4' rise, so only ~400gph. Nothing appears to be over done...

Thanks guys. There is only one real bend in my system, which is the output into the tank. So I guess I am ok with this minor reduction then.
