I don't know where they got it but it is in my tank
The store owner was actually going to keep it for his tank but walked in after I had already purchased it!

Thanks for the replies, the light is a PowerPaq 14K it is Krish's 150W Mh off his pod, better than the 17W wal-mart grow light! I'll pass on the favor as Krish did, hopefully real soon!

Well a while back I found a piece of hard plastic/composite in my tank, picked it out & took a long look until I figured it out. I called Cole-Palmer & explained to them about what happened & was almost sure it was part of the ball on the Hayward MBV. After a long talk he contacted Hayward while I was on the line & we conference the call about how would this best be done. I was given the option to replace the entire valve or order the ball & seals which was about $150 cheaper. I opted to replacing just the ball, these valves are rather easy to take apart. The most difficult thing was getting to the ball, I have to remove the light, then close the three isolation ball valves, then drain It. I had already done this the messy way the first time around so this time I had the operation down, just took my time & the replacement went smoother than I could expect, just remember to close all three valves next time & it would of been even smoother!
Figured I'd throw in a few shots just in case anyone would need to do the same one day!

Today I also cleaned up some of the wires & added a power strip, also got my media reactor set-up, I will not use both top & bottom though, only the bottom for carbon.

Scooty- How'd you attach thos suction boxes to the tank? are they removeable in case you ever need to cleanout inside? I think they are really neat and clean looking.

I measured 5 times & cut many to but it slips just right over the big 1 1/2" HD BH's, I made the box deeper than what Tom made to ease up on the flow more but basically that is it. The top rest on the top part of the BH & the suction holds it in place, even with power off it stays put but removes easy to clean. It did fall back slightly with power off once & could fall slightly open which may be a problem but I turned power off several more times & it hangs well, only when I'm inside the tank moving the water did it fall. I can measure it up for you but the size will be different depending on how far apart your BH's are.
