    Zoanthid and fish only tank

    The 14k hamiltons are good, but don't look that great without actenics. Xm 20's do look pretty nice. I just ordered some bulbs and I will let you know how good they look. I got EVC 14k's for $50 each.

    Zoanthid and fish only tank

    You don't need actenics, but they do help a little. Try the 20k side of bulbs, they make a big difference for zoa's

    Thanks nick I love that r 1200 gs. I have seen pictures of the 800 that you are talking about, it is not a rumor. It is going to have a parallel twin and should be a nice bike.

    Motorcycles!

    Hey Don, that is what I was talking about. It is a great bike for everything, they handle good, can hit the fire roads, and they are great for touring cross country. Plus they can still do this when you feel the need (I have that need every once in a while)

    Motorcycles!

    Hey Nick, the Z is a fun bike, but is tough to do long rides on. The stock seat is a butt killer! I did a 400 mile ride on it last summer and by the time I got home I could barely sit on the couch :). It is real fun to take on short rides and commute on. I have seen the new Ulysses, and even...

    Motorcycles!

    Well here is mine. I don't ride it as much as I used to, but it is a lot of fun and way too fast. 2003 Kawasaki Z1000 with 132 HP at the back wheel :D

    mh lights

    I was considering getting the 12k reeflux myself, they look pretty nice, but I read a lot of bad info about their rep for inconsistant colors, peetering out after a few months, not being made to run on magnetic ballasts, and arriving broken, so decided to look at other stuff. I have been...

    mh lights

    Hey I just thought I would start a new thread about MH lights. I just ordered some EVC tech 14k's that I am going to run on my M80 hqi ballast over my reef side. I have not seen the 250 w version in person, but have seen the 400 and it was one of the most impressive bulbs that I have ever...

    Acrylic Tank Repair

    Ok a plunger? Have you used a plunger before do draw thin weldon into a crack before Luke? Les the crack will not accept any weldon 40 becuase it is not a gaping crack, it is a hairline crack. Also it could cause a lot of crazing on a used tank. I suggested using the 16 because it is easy to...

    A stop drill is when you drill a small hole at the end of the crack to "terminate" it. It will make a stopping point so the crack will not extend any further.

    Acrylic Tank Repair

    Don't paint it, it will probably stress out the acrylic to the point of craizing and possably cracking. PSI is the place over by the humane society. I would stop drill the crack and then put on the patch like discribed above. Use weldon 16 and it will be a easy job.

    Scooties Project "X"

    Ya all you need is the 1.5" standpipe, adding a 2" one would not make any difference. I would personally put about a 6" standpipe rise then the cap with the 1/4" hole in it. It should flow over 1500 gph or so.

    Scooties Project "X"

    here is the problem with your drain! I thought I sent you a 't' to go on the back there where it comes thru the bulkhead. There needs to be a 't' and a standpipe going up above the water line with a cap on it, and a 1/4" hole drilled in the cap. Once you do that your drain will be silent and...

    New setup thread

    Thanks everyone, I was pretty amazed at how much better it looks with some vho's added into the mix. I have had them sitting around for almost a year too. I have been thinking of adding them back in for a long time after seeing in person how much better tanks look with vho, but just never got...
