I purchase 2 of the fixtures you originality posted about. For $119 for 2 units was awesome. I'm running them on a 125 gallon tank. Very bright 2900 lumens per unit. The only issue I have is when I first got them one of the wires leading into the transformer seemed to be loose. I should have...
I agree, first find out what is the cause of the outbreak. I set-up a new tank and I had too strong of lighting for my type of plants and my size tank. Within two weeks it started growing some serious hair algae. I replace the light and everything is doing much better. I did buy the amano...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DVRF2K/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details this is the one that I purchased. We retrofitted the strip light that came with the tank when it was used a nano reef tank. That is the light that is the light that I am using right now until I get the new one in the mail. It...
The three gallon is gone. The light fixture shorted out. In the three gallon I had a 9 w light which was 3 watts per gallon and the anubias did well. I did find a bulb that would fit my new fixture it's a 6700K 28 watt. Which comes out to 4 watt per gallon for my 7 gallon. I also hear that the...
Okay, I was trying to save money because I had already had this light and the retro fit was expensive so I didn't want to get rid of the light. It is also an odd size, they no longer make the 7 gallon bow front. Since I have to get new lights does anyone know if these lights would work...
I had a 3 gallon Eclipse with 4 anubias plants in it and about 3 months ago the light fixture shorted out. The plants have been sitting in the dark since then. I started to replace the fixture when I remembered I really hated this tank. I had a 7 gallon glass bowfront tank that was used as a...
Another $1 per gallon started this past Sunday until Oct 15th. The only problem is that it doesn't include the 55 gallon in this sale. Too bad because we have 4-55 in my store. We sell a ton of 40B but hardly sell any 55 gallon tanks.
You will need UVB and UVA lights they do hav some that are combo lights. Usually pretty expensive ($79) although recently I have seen a maker out there that are offering some a little cheaper. Not sure how long they last. The problem is if you have to increase or decrease the basking light it is...
I had a crayfish in a tank by itself with just plants in a matter of a couple weeks all I had left were the rocks on the bottom. It even ate the duckweed completely. Do you still have the sevums in the tank? When we put crayfish in with ours the crayfish were food to the cichlids. With smaller...
My first question is, what size is your tank? A lot of beginners tend to put too many fish in their tank at one time. Another thing is that you have corys and white clouds in the same tank. The white clouds are cold water fish and the corys prefer to have warmer waters. The molly will like it...
I've seen the double brights on display and think they would work great on my 29 (18" deep), but the 125g is 22" deep so I'm not sure how well I'd like it.
As to the reef LED, I don't think I want to pay $399 for a 36" when I would need two of them, especially since I don't even have live...
That's what I was worried about. I've also looked into making them since the marineland is only 1200 lumens. I will head over to Mostersfishkeepers. I was going to post the question over there as well. Thanks.
Well I'm in the market for new lights and I've been seeing these lately but I haven't found a lot of info on these lights. I've talk to stores and no one seems to have an opinion on them yet. I have 125g FW tank with large cichilds and catfish in it obviously I don't have live plants either...
It's funny you said that Platytudes. Last year when we went to the Georgia Aquarium, we decided to do the behind the scenes tours. They actually use test strips to test the water. Now before anyone says anything, I'm sure their strips are of much better quality then what hobbyist use. I agree...
Well I went back today (hubby had to check out the tarantulas). You are right they are not true zebras. I know what they look like but since she's new in the hobby she doesn't. They were listed as "Fancy Zebra Pleco". I didn't see ich in the tank but my assumptions are that she didn't acclimate...
I don't know what the perimeters are at the store she bought them at. The area where she lives is about 8.4.
I didn't see the zebra pleco to tell you if it was a L046 or a wannabe. when I went to the store the next day I didn't see any. Maybe that is why she received a store credit. She paid...
