Python and Corallife T5 light fixture. The Python makes PWCs too easy and the light fixture has allowed me to have a real planted tank !

Hey I'd love one of these Python things.
Just got a 120G and I'm dreading the PWC's

Anyone know anywhere in Sydney i could get one?
I'm assuming it allows you to move water to your sink from your tank and then back again?

I would say my timers for my lights are my best buy for my buck!!! Definitely save me!

i love my new UV steraliser on my SW tank. i had to cleen my glass with an MAGNET cleaner evry couple of days to keep it spotless. its been nearly two weeks without a clean now....

My best investment would probably have to be my Filstar xP1 canister filter. I love the uncluttered look of the tank and the filtration is the best it has ever been.

I have to agree with Garth7, my timers would be my best buy.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the tank... lol
But seriously, I LOVE my xp2.

Well, I have one more thing to add. Well, maybe 2, lol. My XP2 and XP3 with the inline heaters on the output of each.
