I have made a couple of modifications to 1. Make everything fit, and 2. Include baffles before the return to reduce bubbles. Baiscally, the HOB fuge will cover 2 sections, the intake on the HOB fuge will take water from the small fuge in the sump, but will drain in the compartment with the...

LOL, like I have a chance, but 4th dibs :). bgrauberger@excite.com

I was just planning on using the middle section for heaters etc. I was going to put some live sand and rock in it, but no lighting, so it probably will grow pods too, I am going to light the hob fuge and add chaeto. I purchased the hob fuge used, so it's mine, but I like the idea of using it...

anyone???

Bump for advice Thanks

Sounds good. It's probably best to go ahead and upgrade if it doesn't jeopardize my marriage . As for the ballast, I did some searching last night and came to the same conclusion, it's not that great of a price since no bulb is included. Thanks

Thanks for the advice. Let me ask this. I can purchase one icecap 250 retro kit including reflector for 105.00. It's 2 years old, and does not include bulbs. As a temporary solution, can I add it w/the 2 175s to get by. Also, does this sound like a good price? Thanks.

I was wondering what my limit would be for the following lighting in a tank I'm purchasing. It has a canopy and in it are 2 175 MH and 4 110 VHO's. If I'm extememly limited, I could upgrade the MH ballasts to 250's but I hate to spend the money now if the current lighting will work for most...

I guess my second question is, do I need to modify the sump since the fuge is not in it? Thanks

Hi, I've been posting some questions on the board about a 180 that I'll be picking up in a couple of weeks. The tank is corner drilled. Before I set it up, I think I need to modify the sump. Right now it is just a 40 gal breeder tank. It is open (no baffles) just the sump, drain lines and...

sorry to bump again, it will be the last time, but I know the boards are busy at this time and thought someone with some expertise in hitchikers might have an idea what it is. Thanks

I'm planning on using her water to keep the live rock completely sugmerged for the trip instead of wrapping it in wet paper. I want to try and keep it as alive as possible for the trip. I think I'll set it up, monitor it for about a week, if a cycle starts sell of her fish or take them to a...

I'm upgrading in about 3 weeks to a 180, I'll probably move my tank in about two weeks to make room for the new one. I'll probably wait till then as it's been there for about a year and I hadn't noticed it until looking for my cleaner. Once I do, I'll be sure and take some good pictures and...

Yeah, it's not a feather duster, I have a few of them. The tube almost looks like a gell or something, but I haven't touched it, and on the end I can see, it's fully enclosed, the red thing, moved slowly, almost like a worm, or even at the speed of a coral closing as it backed away from the...

LOL, that's what I'm afraid of. It's at the back on the very bottom of the biggest piece of base rock I have, not gonna be fun!!!

bump, anyone??

Anyone have any ideas? I need to try and figure out if I need to get it out of my tank. Although I have no idea how without tearing apart my rockwork .

My concern is that this was the area the cleaner shrimp hung around in before it dissapeared.
