Happy as a clam!

Crocea later

Nice to crocea!

I can't think of a chromis pun

Comew sailfin away!

I'm only dangerous if you give me a chance to eat you

We're on fire (fish)

The king of the clams!

those bad boys look sahweet! You might want to switch your ratcheting hangers around so the ratcheting part is on the light end of things. That way when you go to raise them you arent putting twice as much weight on your ceiling.

yea, that spammer has kept me real busy today.

i used a scwd on my first setup and it worked fairly well. did what it was supposed to. they switch faster with more flow and vice versa. hope this helps.

either way I would kill it.

Something like this happens.

At least in my case. They have been like that for 6 moths or so.

I'm gunna say mojano

Is that the vlamingi you guys got from me last year?

Dang Jeramy! Sweet tank!

Funny stuff John, which clam did you get? And how bout sharing that vid of the clam attack.

All sold! Thank you!

I got something similar, but mine have a tube they grow out of and are more brown than green. Exactly same shape tho.

5 gallon jug, like a bucket?

I think you can get a single shot break action shotgun at most sporting goods stores for around $100. The Harrington and Richardson 1871. Nothing too fancy, but less complicated usually means more reliable.

I haven't seen any t-5 fixtures or retrofit kits with the dimpled reflector material, you normally see that used in halide. It'd be interesting to see how it works, but I think that if it was a big upgrade you would probably see fixtures coming with it from the factory.

I think it works better with halides because the source of light is much smaller that it is in a florescent tube. A small arc tube vs a long tube. and the small dimples gather light from that smaller source better as where the smooth reflector shines the light in a wider angle wherever the reflector is pointing. Does that make sence? (scratch)

If you are going to be changing bulbs soon, I would go with ati or giesman bulbs. I have an ati sunpower fixture and the bulb combo I use goes as follows

1. Blue Plus

2. Aquablue Special

3. Purple Plus

4. Blue Plus

5. Aquablue Special

6. Blue Plus

Thats front to back. I have great success with just about everything I put in my tank, and if I don't. It's probably because of my maintenance.

You might also be able to swap out the reflectors in the fixture you have. A good reflector makes the world of difference. I definately noticed when I switched from a tek light to an ati.

Pending.-.-.-.-.

So yea, that number generator must be taking its time to get a good random number. (whistle)

WOO HOO FOR STEVE!!!!!!

Happy birthday duder!

Yea, it'd be real easy to reopen the hole. Just remove the patch glass and silicon. And it's drilled for a 1" bulkhead

Bump, price lowered to $40!

How wide is the door? The tank is 24.5x12.5 and 16.75 inches tall

Another $20 can get it delivered this weekend.

Time to take down the quarantine system. I got a 40 breeder tank with a 2x4 stand (just 2x4's, no skin or anything fancy) and a sump. I think the sump is a standard 20 gallon tank. It has a few baffles in it. You can have the surface skimming pvc hang on the back drain that I made, it works pretty darned good.

And the display tank has a hole drilled in the back towards the bottom, but it was patched with glass and black silicone. The back of the tank was also painted black (still has the masking tape even!) Anyways, $40 takes the whole outfit.

Heres a pic of it all setup and running. Theres no other equipment with the tank aside from what is listed.

yea, thats the $500 efflo. You should of seen it befor it broke in half! Definately one of the nicest acro's in my tank.
