More money saving ideas.
Dont buy aquarium salt. Use table salt instead. Please dont say "You cant use table salt in an aquarium" I and many others have done it for years.
Dont waste money on those stupid carbon inserts. If you feel the need to use the stuff, cut open the insert at the top and refill with carbon or whatever and then stitch it shut with fishing line or thread.
Tired of paying big bucks for that tiny box of Diatomacious Earth, Buy a 50 lb bag from a pool supply store for $10.00
If you keep your house at a reasonable temperature(75 to 77, Hey! I like it warm), dont buy the AQ heater. It is not needed.
Dont want to shell out alot of money for a background. Paint it on the outside of the back of your tank. Unless you are looking for something pretty, this works well. I painted 1 of mine black and 1 midnight blue.

Yeah, they are mine. I got them at Home Depot. Too bad they dont sell'em anymore. Atleast not here in Ft Worth. They dropped the full line of "Lights of America" security lights.
For the bulb and fixture, they cost $26.00 each.
They are 65watt, 6500K. I forgot what the CRI was, but it was in the 80's (very good)
You can still order them direct from "Lights of America"
The model # is 9266 I believe.
BTW: they work wonderful, I wish I had more of them. I think I will buy a couple more. Thanx!!!

they still have the security lights at the wal-mart, menards and home depot here, but they don't come with the fancy housing. maybe if i fashioned a reflector for them...
There's a list of places that carry then at http://www.lightsofamerica.com 
I'm going to check Sam's today and a couple other. since I plan on building a hood soon for my 100 and it would make a good way to get 250 watts of CF over it for under $150.

Isn't table salt bad for fish?
I've always heard even minute amounts of iodine (like in iodized table salt) were harmful to fish.
