Dual 250W Metal Halide Ballast. Comes with two (2) quick release cords. I bought this new 2 years ago. Still works like a champ. I upgraded to Lumateks. This ballast will drive SE bulbs. PFO ballasts are known for slightly overdriving bulbs which is why retailers such as ATL use them to get more PAR out of their bulbs. $100. Reply in the thread or PM me for ?s

Take them off. It's trapping the heat inside. Bill B. I forgot about the fan blowing out the back of my canopy. Good catch!

+1 Ask Jake at River City Aquatics he's one of our sponsors.

What part of Florida are you visiting. The state was my childhood stomping grounds>

Do you offer a discount for a group order?

I'm kinda insterested. . . The price seems a little steep. Would take $30 for the Tangs and $15 for the Clowns. How do I acclimate them? Also what to I need to feed them to accelerate growth? Sorry about all the qustions I just can't find any info on Tang and Clown frags!

I would suggest using the clip on fans (WalMart 9.99) and connect them to a timer. Set it to have the fans come on 1 hour after all the lights are on them shut of f1 hour after lights out. You amy have to adjust these times dependent on how hot/cool you keep your house. I control my temp with a controller. 3 clip on fans are connected to it (1 in the sump 2 in the canopy). When my water temperature reaches 78.5 the fans kick on and of course when the water temp is lowered to 78 the fans go off. My tanks usually fluctuates between 78-80 degrees. When using the evaporation method (which is how fans keep the tank cool0 it is important to have some kind of top off system. Like mentioned before keeping the house at a lower temp 78-80 will help as well. And keep the temp below 83.

Brooks check out the Florida Parks and Wildlife Departments website. Hate for you to jailed in paradise.

I take it these are reef safe?

Too much time on your hands.

Nice shoots. I love the fact there isn't any bracing. Post a Full tank shoot in the FTS thread!

SOMEONE STOP THE MADNESS! White Lighting Marron Clown Fish The Lightning Maroon Clownfish from Papua New Guinea is the newest feather in the cap of the Seasmart Programand thanks to decisions being made at Blue Zoo Aquatics, the lightning maroon clownfish may eventually become a shining example of sustainability and ethics in the marine aquarium trade. In an unprecedented turn of events, Blue Zoo Aquatics has rebuffed the countless stratospheric offers for the lightning maroon clownfish, opting instead to select a buyer that is an accomplished fishbreeder in the United States who can give this fish the undivided attention it will need to establish a productive breeding program. One of the benefits of short-chain supply fish like this maroon clownfish from Seasmart is that it is straightforward to know the general collection area from which this fish was collected, and to pair it up with other maroon clownfish from the same area which may also be carrying some of the genetics which produce the extraordinary lightning bands of this clownfish. One of the other really cool facts about the lightning maroon clownfish is that the Seasmart participating fisherman who collected this fish was handsomely rewarded for his catch, a far cry from the average price of $0.02 per fish that an Indonesian fisherman can expect. The lightning maroon clownfish from PNG has already appeared on the Blue Zoo Aquatics Collector’s Choice for a modest $2500 with a SOLD sticker but regardless of the price, it is very heartening to know that BZA selected the future owner of the fish based on it’s potential to become the founding member an established strain of clownfish in the aquarium trade. There are so many more details about the Seasmart program which made it possible to have this fish available to the US, and so many more questions about the future of this fish. For now we can tell you that Ret Talbot, who was in PNG writing a story about the Seasmart program when this fish was captured, will be writing up a full article in the next BZA newsletter to be released tomorrow afternoon/evening. Huge thanks to Ret Talbot, Kris Wray, Mark martin and the Blue Zoo staff for keeping Reef Builders readers in the loop on the history and future of the lightning maroon clownfish. We look forward to BZA’s official announcement in tomorrow’s newsletter and be sure to follow the break for many more images of the lightning maroon clownfish.

Pricing will be a big influence and I haven't seen any prices.

Good advice Gabe!

Hmm... good info to know. What size rod are you looking for? I think I may have a peice out in the shed I used to repair my overflow. I think is' a 1/4 inch square rod. I can let you know this evening after work.

It might be worth it to drive over there and check their scrap bin. Not sure if they require a $15.00 min for the scrap bin.

Mike, the short answer is yes. I would tend to belive my clen up crew would make a "happy meal" out of them. If I was to use them I would do like Ric suggest and use them in a sump. I would do the same thing with scallops (red 'tentacle' might get nipped at) I'm sure someone will correct me if I have given wrong information. Be gentle.

Dynamite?

TTT

Mike it was nice meeting you at the meeting. Don't hurt mama. Any way hope to see you at the next meeting!
