2nd ones are mean greens

Very cool!!!!!

You can get the bulbs for $8 shipped off ebay

I would never treat my whole tank again either. Really messes things up. Sounds like you have determined you will not remove them to QT, so you are left with 2 options: 1. Treat the entire tank and suffer the results - but your redbugs will be gone! 2. Don't do anything

Reupped my subscription this week. The game has changed a lot since i was playing, its more fun now! Though i'm not sure I like how the secondary talent tree works now. I was able to keep playing my old chars too. I'm on Aerie Peak

Very cool its coming along nicely!!

The kind that knows whats good for breakfast! (laugh)

Yah looks like a RBTA with a tat!! Has Clay been to your house? (laugh)

Dang man that is a crappy day. I'd lock myself in my game room all day if that happened to me. Gaming and beer all day long (laugh) Keep your head up though, I'm sure some ppl have frags of those you lost. I'd hook you up if you were closer! That really sucks about the TV too, love my TV. Maybe time to upgrade to LED!!

Nice, those duncans look great!

You know i just got to thinking, i have a buddy who lives up there. He might be able to grab this from you for me. Sending pm

I get the 40hr ones off amazon, they are a continuous low steady heat. The ones at walmart/gi joes/dicks need to be shaken from time to time to keep the heat active and typically you can only get 18 hr ones.

Huh, I have been looking for one of these but can't justify driving up there to get it unfortunately.

Hey looking good!!! I like the color of the right side bulb. When can i come see it???

I don't see why not! What about LEDs???

Water volume is also something to consider. I think Kevin's system is several hundred gallons.

You are welcome to come by my place and check it out anytime. I don't have it on a tank currently, but will in the next month or 2.

Yah i would advise against removing the skimmer. But if you do go ahead with it, why not just remove it all together?

Welcome!! Would love to see pics of your tank!!

Wow now THATS a colony! Looks awesome.

70w DIY MH Cost about $60 total.

Panty hose would work, or you could buy a large sponge for filters and cut it to fit snug around the pump. Walmart sells all kinds of polyester type materials so any of those would work and be cheap. Since you are going to have to replace it often you could use a zip tie or rubber bands to hold it on.

Wow i might have to head up there this weekend. Five Guys here i come!!!

Kinda looks like the hawaiian hermits Garrett has.

I have only 1 drain on my cube and i use a durso. I found that if you increase the size of the pipe before it exits thru the bulkhead it really helps with the noise. My bulkheads are 1", so i used 1.25" PVC for all the durso parts that go in the overflow, then used a reducing bushing right before the bulkhead.
