  1. well i think Eheim filters are your best bet for planted tanks, (thats what I'm taking it off of, converting the tank into salt) i had it on a 20 gallon, i know I'm trying to sell it but it would be to small for a 55 gallon (i have another Eheim 2213 on my 50 plant tank but also have an Aquaclear 70 as well), i think they are great fillters but like i said it would be to small to use alone on a 55 gallon with discus, two would work great but best would be a 2215 or 2217

  2. How should I light my 20long (30"x12"x12"), I would like to be able to keep most any coral anywhere in the tank hears what I’ve been thinking...

     

    1. Four 24watt HO-T5 lamps

    Pros- lots of light, lasts a long time, uses little electricity, less heat, lots of options for lamps

    Cons- don’t know the light spread over 30inchs, no “shimmer” effect

     

    2. One 150watt metal halide lamp

    Pros- lots of light, “Shimmer” effect, lots of options for lamps

    Cons- don’t know the light spread over 30inchs, lots of heat, most electricity

     

    3. Two 70watt metal halide lamps

    Pros- lots of light, good light spread, “shimmer” effect,

    Cons- heat, most expensive annual lamp replacement, not many lamps too choose form

     

    well those are my three options, and I cant decide witch to go with, what option would you all out there go with?

     

    the tank will be open top without a canopy, the light(s) fixtures will be hanging Above the tank

     

    I was thinking for option 1. a SLS Tek Light, option 2. An AquaMedic pendent, option 3. Two JBJ clamp on Viper lights

  3. Anyone here ever buy any furniture from wicks furniture? I'm thinking about buying a living room set from them but I would like too here what others think of them before dropping a few grand there. What is there quality like? and customer service like? So if anyone owns furniture from them what do you think about it?

  4. i have a used Eheim 2213 canister filter that i would like to sell or trade. $50 OBO

    I still have the box and instruction manual and all parts, its in great working order (they are built like tanks and last forever, i have another one on my planted freshwater tank that i have had for ten years! and still works like a champ)

     

    i also have a Amiracle SL-5 Hang On wet/dry filter and skimmer, never used but the pumps have been used to mix salt $100 OBO or will trade for Tunze nanostream 6025 or a refractometer ect...

  5. they have some nice stuff for those younger people like me who don't have a lot of money(it all goes to the tanks!) but i like having things that will last a long time, plus i like building my own stuff, sure if i build it, it looks like crap but i least i tried, right?:D

     

    as far as those who wait in line for it... I'm lost for words, its not like you cant look at there stuff online...
