ANY IDEAS??? I would like to get some light back over this tank without having to tear the lights off the three hundered that in my garage.

Well I have heard of others being shocked while working on the tank. Well I guess It is finally my turn. I was cleaning the glass on my tank when my elbow hit the halide reflector(light off) ZAP! I noticed it was touching another cord so I moved it with a broom handle to isolate it(my halide is on a track system). And took a look at the cord it was slightly touching. No problems there. Touched the halide reflector again and ZAAAAP! this time it hurt. So I set the halide setting on my reefkeeper to off(still shocked me in off vs auto setting) and removed the whole system. So here is my question. How to I test if the light is bleeding voltage to the reflector hood. I have a multimeter and an array of clamps and what not. I already checked for continuity between the reflector and all three pins in the cord going from the ballast to the bulb socket. All show infinite resistance. Now I want to know where to hook the ground probe with the whole thing powered up(light off). While hanging in the garage. Thanks for you help in advance. (wish there was one of those smiley things with his hair smoking)

Oh man that would have been nice! Since the stand is 40" tall it won't fit through doors, so I don't know if a steel stand would have worked.

That is true. Welding inside the house does not tend to fair so well.

If I may ask roughly how much in materials do you have to make that stand. Just curious because I could have made you a sweet custom steel. And I bet the cost would be about the same.

I have had mine for over a year. I never directly feed it and it looks good. Should I be directly feeding it and if so when should I.

Brains are one of my favorite. Once you see skeleton all around the edge It is hard to bring them back. I think you are on the right track. Good luck

wanareef builds alot of tanks his work is very nice from what I have seen He did franks cube and cuttlefishandcorals two tanks and sump he is also working on frankb tank. And those are just the ones I know off the top of my head cause I built all the stands for them. Speaking of such if you would like a steel stand for it give me a yell I will whip one up for you.

Oh just the module never mind...... I need more sleep loo (:

Oh I thought you were buying this for me. I have some 400w setups I could trade for it.

I have a pair of clowns I have had for 3 years and they came from a guy that got them as breeding adults 8 years before that. I have read articles of clowns lasting 20 years. I also have a chromis that I have had for 3 years. And an Golden Dwarf moray I got as an adult 2 years ago.

It sounds like a really good Idea. But would there really be enough revenue to cover the overhead cost of the store front. If you wanna give it a try I would donate my time to help out.

Might also be interested in the bulbs alone if the fixture wont work. I need to replace the bulb in my Viper but kinda want to add some actinic to the tank.

I am interested. With the dimensions I think It would be a hair to big over my 18inch cube. What do you think??

I have some 400 watters if your interested. Dont look to have much run time on them. Dont really know what a fair price is. I will also look through my bulbs when I get home may have a 250 watter too.

How did the notch work out for connecting the bulk heads. I am really digging the whole setup makes it look so much better with the tank on.

Those are some good sales. To bad I will be out of town this weekend.

VERY NICE! CANT WAIT TO SEE THE CUBE BUILD... On another note how is your brine shrimp hatching going?

My 30 gallon cube is the same way. But now to think about it it took a while(year+) before algea really started growing on my 90 gallon.

HAHAHAHAHA Nice bike!!!

I would love to have him. But am unsure how my Melanurus Wrasse would deal with him. I have thousands of asternia stars for him to eat. Any body got any opinions?

Check my threads there should be links to the ones I have done also take a look at Franks his is nice as well.

Or weld then together like I do. I can make you one it will be stronger than one from a LFS but more expensive.

I could custom make you one from steel. Never done a nano one yet but been wanting too.

I know someone with a 30 gallon cube....(whistle)

I would get that cube if you can I love mine and you saw how it was setup at my house so you know it can be drilled for a sump.

I will measure when I get home to make sure it fits.

What are the out side dimensions of the fixture. I am interested but it has to go in a pretty tight spot.
