Just for future considerations insted of waiting for the o-ring to come by mail from the LFS or the manufacturer. Take your old o-ring to a gasket or Bearing store ( up here we have Commercial Bearing or BC Bearing they are industral stores) and they will have the size you need on the shelf, and...

There should be some sort of sticker or stamp on the socket (If it is an incandescent socket). You MUST NOT exceade this max rating, unless you want a fire or a melt down, because a 100 watt light bulb gives off a lot more heat than a 25 watt does. If it is a floresent bulb there should be a...

I have been running my Magnum 350 for about 1 year now. When I need to polish the water I put in the micron filter otherwise I have the carbon cage and a filter floss sock that is made for the filter. You can even place the filter floss sock over the micron filter to catch the big stuff so...

Its not hard to wire it up, once you get your bulbs and have the stuff right in front of you just give me an e-mail and i'll send you pictures and walk you through wiring the...

Well it all depends if you have a sump style system you might get awat with a couple of 500's but if you are going with in tank heaters I would go with 3 heaters (both ends and the middle) I know with my 120 that once I was finished with the light hood I didn't need any heaters for the tank but...

How fast is the water going through your sterilizer. If you push the water through to fast the UV does not have the time to kill the alge you should have notice some change if everything was set right. What type of UV is it? And is the water flowing through it? I have see some that the tubing...

Thanks:)

Is a FLUIDIZED BED filter the same as having a DSB in your tank?

Is this a new tank or a new used tank or was this your fresh water tank converted to a salt tank. The reason I ask is a new tank or tank converted to salt from fresh should be ok but if it is a new used tank ( that you bought used from some one else) some one may have resealed it and possably...

If you are a good DIY type person you could go toBrite-Lite they are up here in Canada you could retro-fit the plastic hoods with them. 4 PLL55w (6400K)and one workhorse 7 balast and 4 sockets and you are on your way for about $150.00 with shipping and gst:D

also try to remove 50% of the water from the tank .....less water less places for him to be. Then use 2 nets
