Kimberlee Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 So I turned my kid to the dark side, and she wants her own tank for x-mass. I have a 20long all ready so I just need equipment. I'm thinking a softie tank should be her first, so the set up can be simple. I'll lights to fit the 20 long, nothing fancy. Just enough lighting to grow softies. I think a canister filter and a small pump should be enough. If you have any of this stuff sitting around Pm me w/ a price or if you'd like to trade I'll send you a list of what I have w/ pics. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 How about a 2x96w PC fixture (I think it is 2' or 3' long). Needs new bulbs. Coralife brand. Includes legs. $30. I can get a pic if you want. I also have two different 150w halides. One is a pendant and the other is a clip-on. Either one for $50. Both need new bulbs. Clip on is like this one http://www.marinedepot.com/Coralife_Aqualight_Advanced_Tank_Mount_1_150_W_14_000K_HQI_Double_Ended_Metal_Halide_Pendants-Coralife-ES53601-FILTFIMHPDDE-vi.html I have a few powerheads from my recent tank consolidations. Let me see what I have if you are interested. dsoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me see what I have if you are interested. dsoz I'm going to measure the tank and see if the pc fixture will work I think halides would be too much for a 20 long and a 9 year old. Let you know on the other fixture by tomorrow though and yes please let me know about the power heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let you know on the other fixture by tomorrow though and yes please let me know about the power heads with only 150HQI on the halide, it does not run hot at all (fan is included with the clip on one). I had the two of them over a 40b. One would light up about 1/3 of the tank well, and another 1/3 poorly and 1/3 not at all. With two of them over a 3' tank, it seemed to work out ok. Just think, with a halide she could even do some stony corals like frogspawn or acros. I even had RBTAs in the tank with the two halides. They loved it. on the powerheads, I found two maxijets that seem to be working fine. They are all gungy and need to be cleaned but they are pumping water. I think at least one of them is a 1200. Not sure what the other one is (possibly also a 1200). I could let them go for $5 each if you also get one of the lights. dsoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimberlee Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 If I can remove the clip and fit it in a hood I'll take the clip on, if not Ill take the pendant, and 1 of the power heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
