    Design a DIY LED light

    Alex.. That is Exactly what I am looking for. Do you guys think the Fans supplied will be big enough? Should I get the Slim, or the regular version? I don't want any limitations with the size of the Heatsinks It says that it fits the 18" Heatsinks. Is the length of the shell 18", or is it...

    A light for skimmy

    Thanks for the kind words guys. I am still in the research stages of what would be best, not only for the tank, but for simple controllability. I am recovering from a total knee replacement on the right leg. I have had my share of complications with this, a bad infection that nearly ended my...

    A light for skimmy

    Mark, if it's not to much to ask, will you please keep this thread up to date. I am very interested in what your final product turns out to be, as well as the costs.

    8 Gallon Nano w/halide - too much lighting???

    Innovative Marine 8 Gallon Nano Aquarium w/ 8 Watt 14000K Skkye Light Clamp LED Light Check out this little Nano. I think if we enjoy having a second tank set up, we will buy this or something very similar and transfer everything over to it.

    8 Gallon Nano w/halide - too much lighting???

    Rachel, Krish is exactly right. Heat is going to be an issue wit that small of a water volume. Evaporation will also be a concern. The price of Led's is coming down, and for a tank of that size it prolly won't take to many. It's great to see you got the Nano bug.. LOL. Make sure you post up a...

    Chad,hey Bro...I have remembered seeing other members recommend using the Krylon Fusion! And this was from some of the more experienced reefers. If you don't feel comfortable with using Paint for some reason , maybe you could try to locate the plumbing parts that will be in the saltwater in...

    New to saltwater. Opinion needed on a 50g tank

    Boiling the rocks is definatly safe. When I cooked some rock I boiled for 10 minutes, flipping the rock because it was very large for the biggest pot that we had. I then let the rock cool down and put it in a large plastic Rubbermaid tote and covered it. The rock was dry and stayed dark for 30...
