    Q for d.i.y. lighting

    I have a standard 55 gal. tank with a diy canopy. I have currently room for 6 48" lights. I have 2 power-glo, 2 03-Actinic and one aqua-glo. I've looked and looked and I'm still not sure what my growing limits would be if I went with only 4 48" (40 w) lights [2 03's and 2 power's]. I currently...

    home brewed overflow

    I finally got my camera to cooperate with me and take pictures of my overflow. Unfortunately I couldnt get them taken until it was in use on the tank. Next comes the new sump; provided I can find some decent plans. Right now I'm running coarse filter then carbon and return. All my levels are...

    Lights and overflow

    I recently built my own overflow and started photographing but I don't know how to access my photo gallery. Also I was wondering if anyone could tell me how a 6500k 40w 48" would do. Would something like power-glo be better?

    done with the overflow....

    I finally finished my overflow. I DIY'd it with 1/4 Lucite, weld-on #16, a table saw and sand paper. I think I have my plans uploaded right. Works great and I can change bulkheads and add another syphon tube when I upgrade tanks. Steven

    help.....actinic lighting

    Can someone please tell me what/ if there is a difference between the coral-life 420 blue actinic and the 03 actinic? I've been told that the 03 is what I need, but I have 1 power glo 1 aqua glo 2 coralife 420 actinics. I don't think I'm getting the right colors (they're not as briliant as...

    help with an overflow??

    Thanks! I went to make it today and it turned out great. Made it out of 1/4" Lucite, weld-on #16, drill press, table saw (w/plywood blade) and a sharpie marker. I will have pictures posted on my web site soon. steven

    Thank You for all the help...

    Ya know? I think I've found my solution... I talked to a guy about 30 minutes from home and contrary to what I've read and been told by so many people, he said that he has used every light that's been made and he has still gone back to the 40 T-12's. His most frequent setup is 5 48" 40W and 3-5...

    Thank You for all the help...

    Just wanted to say thanks to everyone whose posts have helped me with all the work I've done with my aquarium. It seems I've had a run of bad luck with my vho ballasts going out because of a heavy surge. Since I don't have the means of replacing my lighting I'm having to tear down what I've got...

    an odd problem with my water....

    Evaporation....? Ok. I kinda thought that but just didn't realize that you could loose that much water overnight. Th RO/DI filter that I have came from Petco (becuase it was pretty cheap), however the cartridges are not. They filter about 30 - 40 gallons then have to be replaced. Does anyone...

    an odd problem with my water....

    Ok... This may sound pretty odd, but my water level is dropping by a couple of gallons per day in the filter. I have checked the entire floor area under and some feet surrounding the stand and everything is nice and dry. I just can't figure out where it's going. No leaking lines anywhere, no...
