The tanks overflow was made only for the stock pumps that came with the tank.

 

[premilove]

is there any way to mod the overflow?

I'm not sure. Ask around and google it.

 

[premilove]

well, i knocked out some teeth on the overflow, cut some of the impeller for the maxijets, bought a goby and pistol shrimp..
so far so good..

I did. I'm using those spiral energy saving bulbs. Here is a picture of one, not the exact same I'm using, but very close.

hmm i am picking up my picassos today and the nano tuners actinic upgrade! will post pics later

 

[mboswell1982]

sweet man, cant wait to see your picassos, does anyone know if they come in black an white? like, can u get a b&w o. clown in a picasso? lol

 

[premilove]

not that i know of bro but that would be pretty sick lol

 

[mboswell1982]

that would be very sick, what i might just have to do is see if i can cross a picasso with a black an white an see if i can get some babies, and pray some of em turn out as black an white picassos

 

[premilove]

so i just finished installing the nano tuners actinic upgrade for my tank. all the zoas look great underneath it! I got my clowns today..when i turn the actinics on, (i didnt turn on MH at all after i got them) which was about 3-4 hours after acclimation both of the clowns swam around the tank..now as the lunar lights are on, the larger clown stays in one spot towards the bottom of the tank, and i see the smaller one swimming away..is this normal? is the larger one ok?
