Yup, I have the switch... it is actually a reostat that I can turn up slowly, but it is a switch all the same. Any way, i still don't feel there is anyway that 36 watts is any way near way to much for a fish only tank. If you were concerned about that, you could put in some rock cover for...

snailheave Hate to tell you man, but there is no way the 36watts of PC lighting would freak out a fish. I have 88 over my nano, and the fish don't really seem to mind. Also please bare in mind that the fish in the ocean are lighted by just about the brightest light bulb around "the sun"...

Well from what I have read the best way I can figure to do this is to start with the ball point diamond coated bit from Dremel, to make the initial hole through the glass. Then use the Ceramic Tile cutting bit made for rotozips to cut the rest of the way. I am probably going to be getting a...

Originally posted by capschamp where are you going to get your lights from? and how high do you plan on hanging them above the tank? I am looking to upgrade my lights and I have been looking for a while, but I want to make sure I do it correctly. capschamp I think I am going to get the lights...

well that thing with that is that the ballast will most likely only have the leads to run one bulb. You might just want to call marine depot (if you don't have a god lfs) to see if that get get you a dual ballast. I picked mine up out at the store.

I am using these bulbs: Sunpaq Model #: 2020,2021 I hope that helps.

Liverock27, Can I ask you a couple questions. First were you using the optional aqaulifter pump that is designed to restart the syphon if it is lost? Second is there another brand of overflow box that you are currently using that is better than this one. I have not bought the box yet so if...

Yeah i think you could say that... Is scum the scientific name for the stuff?

mgalyk Thanks for the comments. I am glad to hear that people like what I have set up. I hear you on the algea. I am cleaning the glass every other day and using a pair or tweezers to remove that nasty film like algea that covers everything about once a week. I am hoping to fix this...

Hey man sorry about not updating for you.. I have been busy with my own projects. I bought all my stuff at a LFS, but I think most of it you can pick up at *********** Well this is the ballast I got: CustomSeaLife Electro-Lite Ballast. Mine is a 2x65watt (the only downside is both lights are...

The flow plans are stated above, but in addition if I can find good ways to hide some other power heads they will be included. I saw this one power head that actaully moves back and forth (and it was preety cheap) which I may pick up, will give a wave like motion. If I can find a way to hide it...

First and formost thank you for the positive repsonses. And now to answer your two questions: The paint is Krylon Fusion Patriotic Blue. When I bought it was just the darkest blue they had at Walmart in the Fusion (that is meant to adhere to glass and other low binding surfaces). It wasn't...

and an inside look with some light:

a shot of my plans (though they are upside down):

Well hello to all... I have surely caught the bug, one nano is just not going to do it for me any more. I am currently working on setting up my next one... this one will be a 30gallon. As things fallin into place I will up date with more information. Right now I can say this.... the lighting...

Yeah i can see that you will just have to copy that link into the address spot. Any way I bought a nice dual ballast that was like 79 and the bulbs were like 18 or so a piece.... so I guess that is around 120ish.

Ok... i have found the instructions for how to do this mod. Hopefully this link will work. http://www.geocities.com/tokyou_u/diy2.html You will need to get some 15 in PC tubes... i got ones made by Sunpaq. Plus you will need a dual ballast. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Nah, I don't have a skimmer... As for the lighting I have it set up as you can see below. There was a site that I can no longer find that has instructions on how to do this. I will keep looking and update you when I find it. That may not be until tomorrow since I know I have the stie stored...

Hey Rich.... I thought I would throw up a picture of my nano cube. I have not removed anything for the pump system and so far all my level are a ok. However I have upgraded the lights to 88watts of PC. If you have any questions just ask...
