two smaller drain holes????

what about reinforcing it with another piece of glass and puttin the bulkhead thorough both?

might as well stick to them if u like them..check out these prices....under $100 shipped for 2 14k DE phoenix....HTH http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=948236

i just sent Eheim an email. we'll see what they have to say.....

maybe cause when they were ebo jager, that model of heater has had alot of failures(which look identical to them in the photo), so maybe its one way out of replacing them.kind of wierd that the manufacturers site states one thing and the instructions another.....i dunno

http://www.eheim.com/jager.htm fully submersible

it says they are submersible on this site........just like the ebo-jager http://www.aquariumpros.com/c-EBO.html

miles, how about using two smaller drains to lower the suction effect and also as a backup in case one gets blocked

check out the Velocity t-series pumps....i hear really quiet if not looking for a ton of flow....maybe the t-2 or t-3...the eheim might be cheaper though... http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=DolphinEx http://www.bluelineaquatics.com/products/water_pump/velocity_chart.html

nice score!

weldon 4 is the thin stuff....

so what do you do in the mornings and evenings for light?..do you just turn on the spotlights? ....i agree you dont really need VHO's for added actinic boost if using 15-20k bulbs, but i use them for the first and last few hours of the day, when the MH's are off.....

URI super actinic 03 is what most if not all are running.

i dont ever recall hearing about multiple shooting a year at schools though....

i had a purple tank for like 4 yrs....RIP. rescued it from petco. skinny and malnourished. was showing LLE(lateral line erosion) .brought it back from near death to being strong and healthy...but this fish the whole time i possesed it never really stopped swimming...goodlord..the sucker would swim from one side to another in a 5 foot tank. it would only pause from "swimmin laps" to eat or if it thought i was going to feed...IMO i think they NEED at least a 5 ft mininum leghth tank....u might get a way with it as long as you take it out and take it for a walk to stetch its fins once in a while...lol.........but reefgeek brought up a good point, if u get a little guy i think youyll be safe for awhile if u PLAN on getting a longer tank

miles i went over to TRT an copied the text for ya.... __________________

yup i agree bulbs perpendicular to tank is optimum, but most of us have them the other way for convienence or fit

Jay , from what i hear most carpets require like 400watt MH. i would go check out this site...people here could better answer you question... http://www.rareclownfish.com/forums/index.php?
