I was thinking about it I'll let Chad and Belinda have them. I have to much I'm adding to my tank right now and I don't want my bio load to get to high to fast..
I think I'll give them a try. If for some reason they don't get along I'll pass then along to you Belinda. I hope they do though I really want more fish. Would tomorrow work for you for pickup? I'm free during the day.
I may be interested in the cardnials i need to do dome research about what they will get along with. I have 2 clown and a goby pistol combo. Are these fish non agressive? How do they get along in your tank?
If its like GSP its got a thick base like leather that sticks to surfaces i know mine has this leather like skin and i accidentally pulled it one day and came up like pealing an orange or something. id like to have some of it if you can get it off in sheets..
Has any one noticed more than normal number of aptasia poping up? i have a few in my tank and its new, and i had none in my 42g that i upgraded to.. is their something i am doing thats making them grow so fast?
the light i bought has a double ended halogen bulb like the MH does its a little different then the 250 i have but not much maybe a little smaller.. then like he did i bought a 70watt MH ballast and the Ushio 70watt 14k bulb..
no get eletronic start. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=200314967311&Category=26261&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2 like this guy
its a double ended halogen fixture. i ordered the Ushio 70w 14k double ended MH from marinedepot.com $49.99 i got the ballast (advanced 70watt) from ebay $39.00.. i did some checking around and the cheapest i found a 70watt pendent or retro was 149.99 so it saves 50 bucks or so to build this light...
Hes useing an advanced ballast... went to Freight harbor tools and pick up a light $12.99. im gonna run it over my 3-5g sps nano when i get it i wanna try and use it as a very in expencive frag tank. so im going to work on this light. gotta order the ushio bulb.. i already have the mixing bowl only im going to try and use a smaller one. and try to use the case from a picilo clamp light.. dunno it it will work but im gonna give it a shot.. great find! BTW
Hes saying that he pulled the bulb out and then replaced the DE halogen with a 70w MH bulb that is an exact fit to the 500w direct wired DE halogen socket..
ok.. i think ill just wait and look at some others tanks with t-5s and see what they use i dont want to yellow and i dont want what i already have witch is to blue.. ill make a desction before then.. i thought it was crunch time had the order was going out..
