You could use a powerhead. Check out nano-reef.com. Someone there made a CL using a mj400 (i think it was). Its posted under the DIY forums.

They are new bulbs. No used parts anywhere in the ligthing setup.

Just finished installing the 48" (4) bulb retrofit and having problems with the bulbs firing. When I turn them on, they flash and thats all. They do this everytime I turn them on. I undid all the wiring and then rewired with no luck. Any suggestions?

Free shipping? Sounds too good to be true.

I want to upgrade to MH lighting on my 55gal. The problem is I only have 5" from top of tank to top of inside face of canopy. Can I install a MH/PC retro in this little space? With this little space between lights and water, how do most people go about protecting the lights from the water? I...

Try adding the surface skimmer. Slowed my AC500 down enough to keep the sand from moving around in my 10gal.

1) seaclone 100 skimmer 2) tank background 3) 10gal starter kit (I should have just bought the tank alone) 4) HOB heater 5) wrought iron stand 6) list goes on..... :(

"8-Outlet timer/power strip with 4 timer controlled outlets and 4 constant-power outlets. 24 hour mechanical timer with 15 minute setting intervals. Alternate day-night cycle timer." Was wondering if the 4 timer controlled outlets can be set individual? For instance, 2 outlets run powerheads...

All levels are good. nitrate, ammonia & nitrite = 0 sg = 1.023 ph = 8.2 temp = 80 alk & ca levels good too, but I dont remember what they were.

Well, he hasn't lost anymore limbs, but he is not looking good. Guess only time will tell.

I acclimated by adding about 8oz of tank water every 30 mins for 2 hours (after water temps where the same). If his loosing of limbs was caused by acclimation, is he in trouble our will he regenerate them? Mine is in the 55. 55g on small side? That sucks. Guy at LFS told me he has one in his...

I recently bought a SS starfish. He seemed to be doing fine until yesterday. After the lights went out and he came out of the sand, I noticed that he was missing about 1/4in from one of his legs and on another a 1in piece was just barely hanging on. This morning when I checked on him, the 1in...

www.nano-reef.com and www.nanotank.com are 2 that I know of. www.reefcentral.com also as a nano section in their forums that has been helpful.

ScubaDean: Do you have a pic of the inside of your stand? The whole point of my new stand is so I can have a sump or refugium. Would like to see how you constructed your tank. darb2: I'll look into the 5/4 hardwood. Would be nice to have a small storage opening on both sides. Maybe even add a...

I have been working on designing a new stand for my 55gal. I want to make it as sturdy as I can without making it too heavy to move without a crane or using a whole forest. If there are any engineers, carpenters or anyone else on AA that could help out, could you tell me weather my design would...

When I got my 60lbs from hirocks, the smallest was maybe softball sized. The biggest was almost the size of a basketball. Took a hammer to that sucker. Great rock though. Each rock was very different shaped with lost of curves and bends. Two thumbs up.

I was planning on buying a canopy, but maybe I will just build one. I need a new stand anyways, I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone. :thumb:

If I were to add a canopy to my tank, would the canopy fit around my lighting or would the lighting need to be installed to the canopy? For example, if I bought the 48" Coralife Lunar Moonlight Hood, will the canopy fit over it without any modifications?

I just noticed that I have these white pineapple looking things on my lr. They are white and have the texture of a cotton ball. Any idea what these are? Also noticed hanging from the lr toward the back of the tank there are a bunch of empty shells of some sort. As if they were eggs and then...

I am not sure which salt would be the most stable, but in my experience, I have only used IO in my nano and have not come across any problems yet.

In my 10gal nano I put 15lbs sand and almost 30lbs lr. I have the 96watt power quads. All my lr that was near the surface got bleached. Its now come back with a bright green and light purple coraline. I have a whipser 20 that I had a filter in for the first 2 months as it cycled but now i run it...

I am looking to convert from crushed coral to sand. The question I have is about the black reef sand. I am curious to see how many people use or have used it and what pros and cons they have about it. I have also thought about doing a mix of white and black sand to get a salt & pepper look...

I dont know anything about formula 1, but others should be able to help you with that. Snails will go everywhere, including out of the water sometimes. This is natural. No worrys. How big is your tank? If its a larger tank, you should be able to add all the rock with no problems. A smaller...
