Wobbz,awesome.
i bought 3 bags of eco which im gonna be switching with in my 55g from gravel to that.
hopefully I don't have that kind of issue
i'll let you know how it turns out
I've been looking at these lights for my setup. Did you order your lamp separately? I haven't seen the 10k/6.7k setup in the configs listed at stores. They all list the "smartpaq" with the 10k/7.1k blue lamps.My lighting is the USA Current Satellite fixture running 40 watts of 10,000k/6,700k lighting. It's sufficient to grow pretty much anything I want in this tank.
Yep, its Amazonia, and yep its Type 1. I've heard horror stories of even Type 1 melting into mud though, unfortunately. So far, it's kept its shape, although it's definitely easily crushed, so I won't be moving my hardscape around much at all. Thanks for the heads up!
Yeah, Type 1 is pretty dust lol, in the begining, right now i'm running it in my 20 gallon planted,(no Co2) and in my 135gal. Here in houston there is an ADG rep center, so you can buy it at wholesale from them... which helps when you need 12 bags of the stuff.
This tank has been up and running for almost a year and a half, actually. The only issues I ever had were hair algae when I stopped dosing dry ferts. I went back to dosing dry ferts, and the issue cleared up. I would definitely have a larger tank, but I have space limitations. And I love nano fish and shrimp too much anyhow.Cool! You don't see too many high-tech 10G. I'm sure it would be quite a challenge in the long term.
Yea, I had to order the Sunpaq bulb seperately. I still have the original Smartpaq bulb in case I ever go non-planted. I'm sure they'd make neon tetras really pop. I've heard that if you call some of the online stores like Drsfosterandsmith, they'll switch out the bulb for you for free. If you decide to go with this fixture, try that and let me know what they say. I really do like this fixture, and the moonlight is a great added feature.I've been looking at these lights for my setup. Did you order your lamp separately?

I was thinking about ordering from marinedepot. I sent an email to them about the switch out. See how that goes.I've heard that if you call some of the online stores like Drsfosterandsmith, they'll switch out the bulb for you for free.
