I am surprised no one has checked on this. this bad lil boy puts out some light. this was my main coral light for my 180gl reef tank. selling it for less than half the price of a new one has geisman bulbs in it.
48" T5 light fixture (New wave 44 by sunlight systems) with 4 bulbs (2 white and 2 blue) bulbs are about 6 months old and used about 5 hours a day. this unit sells new for 175 I am asking $75.00 Kenny 254-913-7587 216 watts total
65x2 does BUT!!! the old bulbs have printed on the end cap CF 130W Odyssea ( on each bulb) and I ordered the new bulbs from Dr Fosters and Smith and they are sunpaq 130W bulbs, however I am having trouble finding 2x130w ballast and most people are sceptical about it actualy being 130w each as I myself am. BUT on the control box that runs the metal halides that are also on this light,, it clearly says metal halides 175W x3 and POWER COMPACT 130W x2
I am considering an ICE CAP 660 if i can locate a used one some where
excuse me i am wrong they are 130 watts each, i called aqua dome he said to get a work horse but there are none i seen with the right wattage,,,, he said a workhorse 4
I have a 72" odyssea light with three 175 watt MH's and moon lights and two 135 watt power compacts. i bought it used and i replaced all bulbs, but the two power compacts still do not work so i need a ballast to run two 135 watt power compacts. does anyone have one or know where i can get one? pm me cause it is easier for me to find your reply
i cant dip again i have a 180 gallon tank,, but i stopped feeding the fish and they seem to be eating them, man i did not know about the dang eggs, GRRRRRRR
I removed every rock and coral and did a iodine dip and killed all those, and then did more siphoning in the tank, then scrapped the surface of the sand. still have some in there but not near as much,, small enough amount left that i can medicate now
for rigid tubing i bought it at the fish store it is clear stiff tubing looks like the airline tubing except it is stiff about $2.00, i have been siphoning everyday and removing hundreds. this weekend i have decided to remove every rock 1 by 1 and siphone them off and scoop off the sand and add some more sand.
i do have chromis. i have 5 of them i have 2 wrasses, I have shrimp and crabs but they dont even say hello to the flatworms much less eat them
Hi, Thanks for the info and your personal experience. since i posted this i have read alot of info. I was scared of the flatworm exit due to my tank being a 180gl and the massive amount of flatworm that will be dying and releasing toxins. my reseach brought me to believe i need to get as many out as i can before tratment. I tried to build my own suction hose with large clear tubing (i use to do water changes) and a powerhead, but did not work, i made a mess and stopped up powerhead with sand. so i bought some airline tubing and a stiff piece of tubing and begain siphoning. boring pain in the butt work but i have done it twice today and i removed thousands. i will continue to do so daily. i also bougth 2 wrasses to eat them. after a week if not under control then i get the flatworm exit and there should not be enough left in there to harm tank with toxins. also all my corals are softies too.
i just found out today that what i thought was alge is actually flat worms (a ton of them) to many to treat with flat worm exit as toxin will kill everything in tank. has anyone had a severe problem with flat worms? and how dod you fix the problem? i have too many to treat and way too many for a fish to eat
