Hey I'v got some skateboard poasters behind my tank too, I'm soo happy its spring now. back to fish, it looks good. Too get som more bang for your buck, you should put some tin foil underneath the lights, I used a glue gun to keep it in place. slso why don't you just use a hand saw to cut off...

i also hate the canadian priceing, its a total rip off and there is no reason to buy anything from canadian stors except plants,fish and tanks. it also sucks that Drs.foster & smith charge outrageous prices to ship to canada. i wanted to buy a filter and it would of cost me $100 to ship it here...

you can always pick up a few computer cooling fans to keep them moderatly cool. thats what most people use, and i think it works quite well for them. i'm not sure if your old hood will be big enough for every thing though

wow thanks alot Fruitbat. I like all of thoughs fish. i especialy like the bush fish, the exodon's, and the sengal bichir. i think i will have a hard time chosing bettween them :( . do you think it could posibly be posible to keep a bichir, with a bush fish or two, or will there be a problem there?

i have two 175 watt MH lights on my 120, that is 26" deep, and they penetrate the watter really well. they do get hot though so i woulden't put them that close to the watter. you could get a pendant light and hang it from the ceiling, that can look quite nice to. HTH

hi now have a 36 gal aquarium that is empty, and i wanted to keep some different fish. i was wondering if there are any eels, or piranas that i could keep in this tank happily, or any other oddballs. its 36" long and i think about 18" high. thanks sean

Toirtis: i think there is still some salt left, or at least there was a bunch at BA kanata(only the stuff in the square containers though), not so sure about innis though. Well i went out and bought some plants today, even though i shouldent have, just couldent wait. so here are some pics...

the one that they have in the sticky

on the fert calculator, how do you figure out how much ppm you have over all in your tank? thanks sean

Hi i got a new 120 gal tank, at the big al's boxing day sale.its gunna be a in-wall planted discus tank. one side is going to have a stand and hood, and the otter side is just going to be in-wall. here are some pics.

why don't you try a lilly of some kind. It could look really cool, i'm not quite sure how much light you would need, probobly not that much seeing as its leaves will be right at the waters surface. lillys could easily grow that tall(i had one in my pond that fell to the very bottom 4' and put up...

I'v got one of them to.they are built like a tank, mine has taken a beating, i got him the same day as my first tank, then moved 3 times. very nice fish and they look realy cool.

yah i think i'm going to use just the two lights, and if for some reason it isn't enough light i will move up to 3. I dont want to start another topic so i'm just going to post this here. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about fresh water sumps?i'm thinking of having a small one to...

the tank does have a center brace, will that make a big shadow? because that would be sorta annoying. but i think i'm going to go with your advice travis, i was mostly worried about to much light. It will actually cost me less to use the metal halide lights to :D $32 each(canadian(but i might...

this is hopefully my last lighting question for my 125gal aquarium. I found some 175W metal halide lights for sale, they are out door, flood lights, so they will also be sealed against humidity(hopefully they will work). i'm contemplating, getting 3 of the metal halide lights wich would put me...

thanks for the replys i know about the K having to be between 5000-10000, the lamps i found are spotlight lamps, for indoor or out door use. so thats what i meant. thanks

Hi i found some 175W metal halide lights in the local classifieds. Does it matter what type of metal halide lamp you use or will any type work? also how many will i need to cover my 5' tank if they are 175W? thanks

thanks alot for all the replys, i think i'm going to get some lights from ahsupply.com

Hi i was wondering if these lights could be used for a planted aquarium? http://homeharvest.com/hydrofarmcompactfluorescents.htm i don't see why they couldent but i just want to make sure thanks

Ok the halogen lights are off. I had trouble setting up the Co2 for the first couple of days and after about 5 days the whole thing was covered in algea. They made very nice shadows and spot lights but aren't good for a fish tank.in the last couple of days i got many different types of algea...

thanks, i only wish i could get some decent pics. i have to learn how to compres and stuff

hi i put the 6 lights on a pice of wood and put it across the top of the tank. suprisingly enough the new lights look better than my old lights from the top eavin though they arnt coverd or anything. the lights give off a much better light, its brighter but softer on the eyes. i dicided to...

hey yah i decided to try it out since it probably wont hurt considering how little watt per gal i had before. i'll build the thing tomorrow. I just hope algea doesn't get out of hand.

Hi i found 6 halogen pot lights in my basement a couple days ago. i was just wondering if they are any good for growing plants or if they are just useless. i have 6 each one is 20watt. i was planing to put them over my 36gal tank. right now i have a 20 wat NO florescent bulb. i have a bunch of...

Thanks allot every one. i'll look into some CF and MH on the net. i went to Big al's the other day and looked at the CF hoods. They cost allot!! i think that i will probably go with some CF from ahsupply.com. That 125G planted mbuna tank is amazing i just hope mine will turn out that good...
