Those lights are awesome! Sucks about the filter. At least you didn't blow a bunch of money. Always a gamble on something like that.
 
But in the meantime if anyone can think of a pump solution that would be great... I'm even considering a VERY small power head??

I think a power head would take up ALOT of space those nano power heads are bulky IMO.

Hey just a thought... May not work but just came to me. A filter maybe? Like the smallest aqua clear for movement? It wouldn't take up space inside.
 
Just my opinion...

I have a tiny hydro nano power head that I just put in my 2.5 gallon pico. It made a huge difference.I like it a lot. It's a hydor nano 180 gph. I'll post a pic.
 
Found it!!!

Please excuse the algae. its about to get a good soaking in vinegar. It's temporarily been in my 55 gallon that has been a bit of a train wreck as far as algae goes. I love this nano power head! Sorry for the bad picture quality. Stupid glare. Lol

Agreed about the bulkyness...think I found one to replace that's 80 gph (the one that comes with is 40) ..

Jmay- thanks but that is the exact pump I struggled with. The section of overflow I need to fit something in is 2" x 2"... Yikes! I tried modding and adjusting just couldn't make it work... 8-/
 
Jmay- I jumped the gun... Mine was a 180 gph hydor pump not powerhead.. What r the dimensions of that?

Eek. I guess it might be a little big. But I think it would work. They're 24.99 on bulkreefsupply.

Ok cool... So you do all your corals from LiveAquaria? I almost want to just go to my LFS so I dont have to deal with a shipping headache.. How long should I wait before adding corals you think??

Most are from my LFS. Some (few) are from LA. No issues to report. I added corals as soon as I was cycled lol. I'm impatient :)
 
Liveaquaria does a great job. My brother orders from them regularly. Never had a problem with their shipping. Plus you'll get WAY more for your money. If you save up and spend $225 your shipping is free.
