Hmmmm...it says that their web site is under construction, hmmmm.
I'm headed to Hoffer's tomorrow. Beth and I want to wander around there anyway to see if there are any corals that just HAVE to come home with us (hope so). Their staff is top notch, maybe they can help me out with the light fixture, at least to see what's going on with it.

Sorry Ryk, I didn't mean to overlook this post. I hope you're all feeling better soon. I can be around most every weekend...well, 'cept when scuba season starts up again in a few weeks, then I'm NEVER around. Just let me know when it works best for you, and I'll make a point certainly to be here when it arrives.
Thanks again.

Well, I did get to Hoffer's yesterday, and they were able to fix my pc lights right up...all I can is...CHA-CHING!! Whooey that place is 'spensive!! I'm glad to have that light fixed though, plus I bought a set of legs for the fixture, which I hadn't had before...that should help.
I also bought a really cool piece of coral for the sh tank. It's about 7"-8" tall by about 10" at the widest...I really like it. It's the coral in the lower left of the tank...

There is something that I see I need to get under control in the sh tank...temperature. I've taken my big heater out of there and put in a small one...one for 10-30gal, and the temp is still up to 78-80 degrees. Hmmmm...I'm wondering if I can get by without a heater at all in there, especially during the spring and summer months. :thinking: What do you think?

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Living in 'sconsin, the weather changes on a dime...it's hailing out right now to beat the band!!...I think that I'll put the bigger heater back in and keep it set really low. The one I have in there now doesn't have any settings...I thought it would work because it's basically for a smaller tank...I want to get this straightened out before I put ponies in, 'ya know?
Good news, my 2 pint sized emeralds I put in last week are still out and about and grazing on the rocks...yay!!

Oops...sorry another question for those sh keepers out there. I'm wondering what kind of powerheads (speaking of powerheads) have adjustments for flow? Should I just get some that are really low flow...or are there some available that are adjustable?
Help greatly appreciated on this...
Thanks again!!
Lisa

Macro algea is the next addition to my tank!! This Saturday will work great...I think...I don't have anything going on, so yeah, that works.
Aquaclear powerfilters...are those powerheads? I hate to ask again, but do you have a pic of one of those? I'll look them up on the net otherwise.
Thanks again Ryk,
Lisa

an aquaclear filter is basically an HOB filter...there are adjustable powerheads out there, they are the smaller ones, like maxijets mini jets by marineland...and there are a few others...but i would think if at all possible i would get a normal powerhead and get some stronger tubing and make a quick spraybar....then just make sure to have that sponge for your intake

Is this what you're talking about? Pretty reasonable if they are. I would purchase at least 2 of these for the sh tank. Let me know what you think.
