i have a 180 with a mag 12 hooked up to a seaswirl. i am running 175 gallons an hour thru my sump , so i had to put a relief valve on it to send the excess water back to the sump, since the mag is not pressure rated. i have a k4 for circulation. sounds like my water volume is a lot lower than most, but have mostly softies.

woody at seahorse might be able to at least rig something up so you can use temporarily, if he cannot make a permanent one, Upscales would be closer tho, if you are from Newberg

i was wondering if i could get 1 from BRS on the group club buy for this week?

i know, what i would not give to a fly on his computer screen when he does,

you guys are really vicious, laffin

me too, i googled it, could not find out anything about them. bummer

nice, so when it is shipped, how does the member pay the deposit?

what is a "true union ball valve" as opposed to a regular ball valve

is the 180 still up for grabs? how much of it is starfire? how much do you want?

i googled them they are not expensive. has anyone used these before? http://www.amazon.com/250-Watt-Aquarium-Unprotected-Horizontal/dp/B003YO28JU

so these must be single ended bulbs?

i take it no clown triggers or tangs?

a good rule of thumb is around 1# of live rock per gallon, cube might be different, but i have a 6'x2'x2' tank, (180 gallons), i have a least 150# pounds of rock. so more rock would not hurt, that is a big part of filtration. with copper power, which is what i am using for my qt tankyou only need a ounce per 20 gallons. i have a ten gallon tank you can use, will give you an ounce of copper, if you have not got that far yet.

how old are the bulbs? how long have you had it?if i buy used,i do not like to pay more than 1\2 of retail.

thanks thanks all

2-250watt 15k radiums, with 2 4' actinics & 2 white vho 10k , i believe

the other pic this is my storage water/top off set up

i figured since i paid my dues, may as well show why. this is my 2nd 180, because my first 1 broke. my sump is in the garage. the top sump on the shelf is for my ro\di water. the filter is right by the washing machiine, so i pump the waste water in there. works good, since i make up 10 gallons at a time, it fills washer for a load. laffin the bottom sump on the shelf is for my top off water, it drains into the sump with a float valve. i drain ro water into a 5 gallon bucket, make salt or top off water, which ever i need, then pump top off water in to the bottom sump

so in a 10, i will need to do a 1 gallon a week water change, since there really is no filter ?

i am running a qt tank with copper power, does charcoal remove it from the water? thought i would need some since sand or rock would just die off from the copper ?

that was my thought. lfs just tried to cut mine down, it shattered like window glass when a rock goes thru it, was pretty brittle

yeah, empty the tank, glue a scrap piece of acrylic to the leak at the crack, so the crack is covered. you will need to use acrylic cement, not just silicone, to make sure it is a strong bond. will need to wait 24 hours before you put it back together. what size tank is it?

i have a 100 gallon in my garage, with about 60 gallons of water, & a 250 watt halide over it. works great. garage is not heated, so have 1-300 watt &1 200 watt heater in it

has anyone played around with a homemade controller for the koralia's or tunze 12volt powerheads?
