Thanks, I read all those threads, and it looks there are both good and bad pods, and they hitch-hike in on LR, so how do I get rid of the bad ones and keep the good ones?

Ok, I've seen several references to them around, and I haven't found a good explanation yet of what they are? Why are they good? What do they do? Thanks. Alex Honolulu, HI

help me, I'm new, what is the "vinegar test" for sand? Alex Honolulu, HI

I have two canons, a powershot 4.0MP and the digital rebel, love 'em both. I wouldn't buy any other brand camera!!!

Thanks, forgot to mention, my name is Alex. Anyways, I was thinking of 10-15 gallons or so for the QT tank. I was going to use some of the left over acrylic I have from making my sump. Should I make it long and narrow or more square? Alex Honolulu, HI

What is a good setup for a QT tank? PH, HOB filter, what? I have heard some people put a few PVC fittings in to allow the fish a place to hide. Also, how long do you QT fish for?

bump....I need to learn

working for me

awesome looking!!

looks good!!

I was worried about toxins released into the water, less about leaks, I assume its safe, as everyone else is using it, right?

Do you use standard PVC cement, or what?

I checked them out, and to me it looks like you could easily mount a DE bulb in the Lumenarc reflectors. The question that remains, is how would light dispersion be affected by UV glass, if at all? Or what additional must be done to shield UV from the tank? I don't know the answer, maybe someone...

Zip is 96818 or in two weeks 96706. I'd be interested to hear how much it is, It would probably be about the same size as yours, as it is fitting under the same size tank.

I might be missing something, but couldn't you just use a SE style reflector, or any that fits your needs/desires, and put a glass screen on it to shield it? I've heard a little bit about the danger of UV from MH bulbs, what exactly is the problem?

so why not use a SE style reflector with a DE bulb? Or develop a new reflector that has a wider dispersion area?

Jasen, good to hear, now if you guys can work out cheap shipping to Hawaii I'm in.....but I'll probably just end up making my own.

Ouch, that sucks......thats why I'm going with two stockman overflows....one clogs, still have another.....

Spread as far as physical coverage area, or spread as far as spectrum? What exactly are talking about? Wouldn't spread be somewhat a function of the geometry of the reflector?
