+etannert Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hey folks, I feel like an utter idiot, but I got a new Plusrite 20K bulb for my-to-me Solana 34 and can't for the life of me figure out how to open up the disco ball pendant to get the new bulb installed. Any help is much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timfish Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I was going to say I've got a real nifty 5 lb sledge hammer with a modified handle that's only 8" long I borrowed from a friend of mine about 27 years ago that works really well in tight places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Solana disco ball seems a bit intimidating at first, but you just pull the rim off with a screwdriver and voila, light bulb access. How is temperature on your tank? The 150mh is literally baking things if I leave it on for more than a few hours at a time, and this is with a strong fan blowing whenever the light is on.

+etannert Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 If I leave the glass lid on it gets above 80, but if I leave the glass lid off, I've had the temp drop as low as 73. This tank has only been up a couple weeks so I'm still getting everything dialed in and thankfully the corals are tolerating all the swings okay so far. I'm only running the bulb about 5 hrs a day right now since the last tank had a PC light. I didn't get around to changing the lighting cycle for a couple of days after putting it together and managed to turn a completely pink powerhead totally white, lol... also fried the edge of a monti cap but it's coming back nicely. I think it likes the MH way more than PC as this is the first time I've seen growth out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
