    tropical collection info

    Anyone know of a good source of information on collecting tropicals. I do a lot of diving in S Florida and I figure if I'm out there I might as well stock my tank. Mike.

    t5 or PC lighting

    I'm looking at around $200 for either PC or T5 systems. I have not even looked into MH I thought they were 2 expensive and hot. Are they rated in watts the same as the PC/T5 ?

    Welcome Aboard

    Can you tell be a bit about your organization. I'm in Jupiter, Fl. Had my 65 gal tank set up for ten years and struggled all the time. Just decided to re-do and upgrade systems. Give it one more try and if it fails it will become a terrarium. Do any of your members do any diving ? What about...

    t5 or PC lighting

    What are the differences between the two systems T5 or Pc ? Any advantages to either? I'm looking at either a 4 x 96 watt pc or 6 x 54 watt T5 for my 65 gal. What about heat ?

    gurgle stop

    I did not see any instruction on construction of the downpipe cap and I did not drill a hole in the cap. The water leveled of at the bottom of the 90 deg fitting so not matter how short the down tube the water will always be at the same level. Hopefully the hole in the top will help. Are there...

    Mag pumps plumbed externally?

    gurgle stop

    I upgraded the pump in my tank and now the down pipe makes a gurgling sound. The old pump did not flow as much water and there was never a problem. I have a single 3/4 inch pvc down tube in a glass tank. Are there any baffling systems or tricks to stop this horriable noise, so my family can...

    PC or T5 on a budget.

    I'm looking at upgrading the lighting on my 65 gal. I'm pretty handy and real cheap. Are there any options for ballasts and sockets for either PC or t5 bulbs. Perhaps Home depot ? I'm looking at putting on 4 36' 95 watt pc and the retrofit kits seem expensive for what you get. Any thoughts ?

    Mag pumps plumbed externally?

    When looking at these pumps I noticed that in all the adds the mag drive SUPREME does not say anything about "in-line" use, but the mag drive does. There seems to be a difference between these 2 pumps. The supreme has a different looking housing in silver and the mag looks more compact and is in...

    Mag pumps plumbed externally?

    Just ordered a Mag 12 for my 65gal. I will use it externally, hard plummed with PVC. It should be here in a few days. I will let you know what I think.
