True, and you don't get a break on shipping bulbs, do you?
-
Thanks, James, I'll order online.
-
Before I order online I thought I'd check. I'm looking for a Coralvue SE 250W MH 14000, and two 36" Aquasun daylight bulbs.
-
Hey, Troy, have you been able to trap the fish yet?
-
The diagonal a no-go. My canopy isn't big enough, and the VHO and MH bulbs would be almost touching. So, I put the MH retro toward the front of the canopy and the VHO setup toward the back. It looks decent, though I need more actinics and one more MH retro.
-
Well, that's true. Neither of the chain stores have the bulbs I want, but I'm going to re-mount the VHOs and "encourage" the MH retro to fit here in a bit. I'll let you know.
-
So I bought the VHOs thinking they'd be a good temp setup until I can find another MH retro and 2 single-bulb T5 retros, but I didn't think it through and it's not enoug light. They're 36" long, so there's not enough room at the ends for the MH retros. So I was thinking about putting the VHOs at a diagonal, with 3 actinics and one daylight. Then putting the MH retros on each side of the diagonal, so one MH would be at the front left side of the tank, the other at the back right side. Is this a decent setup?
-
Can you get the Aqua Sun 10k at an LFS?
-
So I bought the VHOs that were for sale here. It's a nice setup - ARO ballast with 2 daylights and 2 super actinics by the UV Lighting Company. The flourescent green in my mushrooms and candy canes looks awesome, as does my GSP. But the entire tank has a pinkish hue with no bluish tone at all, and no clear white. Just sort of a very slightly foggy pink. The seller did say the bulbs need replacing. So, is the pinkish hue due to old bulbs or the wrong brand, or what? And if it's old bulbs, which should I replace first, the daylights or the actinics?

I was using a larger tubing, but I'll try it with the airline and the turkey baster. Thanks!
-
I don't know why it's not working. I guess it's just not strong enough to move upward to go over the side of the tank.
-
Other than the usual put-the-tubing-in-your-mouth way? I'm just too much of a wimp to do that. I have gunk in my overflow boxes that I need to siphon out. The way I start a siphon is to put the entire tubing in the water to get rid of all the air, then keep one end in the water and put the other end in the bucket. But since I want to clean out the overflow, I can't do that. I tried holding my fingers over the ends of the tubing until I get one end in the overflow, but that's not working, either. Is there some kind of little gadget that will act as a vaccum?
-
They're trying to trap the tang today. Hopefully I won't have a need to.
-
Wow! I want one of those!
-
Yep, I recall that from when you were setting up my new tank. I've been watching for either a tomini or Kole and finally found one. I can't wait to get it, and I'm crossing my fingers that everyone gets along. If not, I don't know how I'll catch it. It took me and Chatfouz over an hour to catch the tomato last Friday .
-
Troy - doesn't look like there will be a problem with the tomini and my Lo. I spoke to your wife earlier and asked for a pic, but you can disregard that. I'll take him, whenever you can catch him.
-
Ok, I'll try it. Thanks, Gabriel.
-
AHA! I finally found a tomini tang for sale, and the compatibility charge says Caution when pairing them with the Foxface. Anyone have both? Any opinions on pairing them?
-
HI, Troy. I might be interested. I googled it, but I see different pics. Can you find a pic that looks like him? I definitely want him, if I find out from some of the gurus if they think he'd be OK with my Lo.
-
He's in Georgetown, about 10 miles North of me.
-
Thanks, Lee. See you Tuesday.
-
I'll buy the rubble for my sump.
-
Me, too.
-
Yeah, you mention 'sale' to this bunch and you get a stampede. Maybe they should see wristbands.
-
I think I've seen them, I was there about 2 weeks ago. Gorgeous!
