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..... :(

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...
