What brand led fixture or is it a diy project?

Hi awesome reef tank! What type of lighting are you running?

The tanks are on shelves so I may look into getting 36" T5 fixtures to mount under each shelf. Oh well at least it was only an $10 loss. Maybe I will use the lights as a night light for the fish room so they are not in total darkness every night.

ok, well I bought the six foot rope light above and mounting clips. cost about $10. mounted the rope light on a shelf about 6" above the tank. plugged it in...and failure..hardly any light in the tank even made a reflector out of aluminum. If they were blue may make ok moonlights. back to the...

Just wanted to chime in. I have 3 parrots and never had a problem adding new fish as long as they were about the same size. Give it a few days every one is establishing territories. When I was having problems adding saltwater fish I was advised to move rocks around so that territories were taken...

Good idea. I was thinking of a way to make some type of reflector..even going really cheap and using aluminum foil.

Hello everyone, So I was walking around home depot today and went into their lighting section. I was looking for some ideas to light my tanks in my fish room, something I can put under each shelf instead of having individual lights and something that will keep my electric bill low. They had 3...

Hello, There is a member named Carey here and she does a BRS group buy monthly. Usually around the 20th or so of the month so if you guys need something you can always contact her and get on the list. Just letting everyone know in case they missed out on this one.

They do build nice tanks but some are to outrageous. Its a rip off to these customers I'm sure they pay a ton of money for them to build the tank and stock it. Like many LFS they probably only offer a week or so warranty on the fish. I wonder what the return policy is on the tanks like the phone...

The marineland ones that HUKIT mentioned above is a good deal. I personally have been using glass from lowes. They cut it to your measurements and usually run me about $5-$8 per tank. Be careful with it since they don't file down the edges but you can glue a wooden cabinet knob on the glass to...

Yeah, June is what the rumor is. Talked to the manager there and he said if you stop in and see a mountain of tanks in the front then the sale will be within a week or so. He said they had 4 sales last year and probably will do 4 this year so I figure start in june then every other month till...

Get mine from lowes or home depot. Pavers, Garden edging, etc.

Hi, Do you know if these pieces need to be boiled for fear of Tannins? Thanks Mark

I'm from the Doylestown, PA Area. I have been to the hidden reef and fish factory. Both seem to have elevated prices but there coral selection is very good. Another good place is The Pet Shack in Hatfield, PA prices are pretty good.

My fish room is a work in progress also. Waiting for the petco sale to fill my rack up :) Will post pics when I have the tanks. Just got done adding 2 new outlets for all the filters, heaters, and lights.
