My Soon to be new tank

Hi everyone

 

Here is a picture of the Tank with hood and stand that i'll be getting soon, i've decided on getting this one than getting a Jebo tank.

 

Regards from Len

cool nice size n stuff alot better than the jebo ones i reckon the best part of a tank would be doing the lighting n stuff ur self and also the hoods are better lookin n everything too. how many gallons is it too?

Hi Chaz181

 

I didnt ask as to how many litres the tank holds, i'll do that the next time i go there.

 

And as to the lights i'll be getting one of them next week..

Hi Chaz181

 

The light is a Spectrum 6400k - 130 watt with builtin ballast and it fits onto an e40 socket which you can plug straight into 240v

 

If your going to get those lights and fittings then your looking at paying $85 aud for the light and $40 aud for the e40 socket.

 

I live in victoria and i'm close to oakleigh, i go to Reeflections aquarium which is at 614 south rd Moorabbin.

Hi,

 

i also live in melbourne and just start my 10g nano reef jebo r338. and currently still strugle to upgrade my lighting.

 

Where do you get the globe ? is that from reefonline.com.au ? and why the e40 socket very expensive (A$40) ? i think it only around A$10.

 

Regarding the aquarium shop do you mention "Reeflections aquarium", is this store have a good stuff ?

 

I ussually go to mentone aquarium for buying marine stuff.

 

Thanks for your time.

hi Otedd

 

Yes they do have good stuff as this is closer to me than the mentone shop is, but that is where i'm getting the tank from..

eventually well after i get the lights..

 

As to the jebo that i was origionally going to get, seeing that i got a prizm skimmer i would have had a problem in fitting it to the jebo tank.

 

You may have to ask the guy at mentone about whic upgrade light would suit your tank, it all depends on what you want to have in your tank as in corals, then you will need the correct lighting for them, i found that out the hard way about 16 years ago..

Ps. i'm on the rtaw irc chat channel most times..
