I havent thought about doing that...I might give it a try as it should help reflect some of the wasted light back in my tank

Here is what I did with my 10g ....This really depends on if you have the screw in type fixtures in your hood..... I used two 6500k 10 watt bulbs (2wpg) from Walmart..You could probably use the 13w bulbs (about 2.5wpg) instead of the 10w I used. I was afraid they would be a tight fit but after...

Here is a link to Mgamer's thread about it.... http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135481 You still havent recieved your replacement yet Mg ?? It has been about 7 weeks now......

I knew it was there.... but it is good to know a way to do it if you are out and run across a used tank and need to know the size.

Probably so....more than likely this was an assorted cichlid tank they had if they were cheaper than the others.

L x W x H then divide by 231 That is the standard size for a 20 gallon long tank ...but doing the math comes out to 18.7 gallons which takes in account for the thickness of the glass

Krylon works great...I used a semi-flat finish and it looks real good. The first coat doest go on real good but just let it dry and keep putting a few coats on and it will start going on better. It usually takes atleast 3-4 light coats to get a good solid coverage...

:iagree:

Welcome to AC !!!!! Nice setup.... I really like the old barn wood look surrounding the tank

You can also get slate floor tiles form Home Depot or Lowes pretty cheap...they come in several different sizes ( 4",6",8" upto around 12" to 16")...You can use then as they are or you can take them and break them to the size you need. If you break them be sure to chip off any really sharp edges...

:iagree: 8-10 hours should be plenty

Seachem Prime is what most people here use.....Says this on the bottle " Removes Chlorine,Chloramine,Ammonia and Detoxifies Nitrite & Nitrate" Just add at each water change......Costs alittle more but it goes a long way...A 250ml (8.5oz) bottle will treat 2500 gallons But the safest way to...

Using just the 1" piece of foam should do it ...unless there are some major high spots ...If just small little imperfections in the floor you should be fine. Just be sure to check the level of the tank as some basement floors are poured with a slight slope to help water drainage.

Thats pretty cool...they have even had a few in my small town of Lynnville

I guess not since I am not even sure what geocaches is:huh:

Thanks Lupin... I think I will just either take them out with the others or maybe get a 20 long and put my rams and cories in it

Great results....right were they should be

It should work with lower wattage bulbs just fine.... Think of it like any other light in your house...You can use whatever lightbulb in your fixtures around the house aslong as you dont use over the max that the sticker says on it.

Might be hard finding a stand that size..... but one could be built probably for less than one would cost if you or someone you now are handy with woodworking.
