Prowland Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I really enjoy my 10gal and it is coming along great. I do however miss the 5.5gal and will be setting it back up! 5.5gal All Glass Aquarium 25W Finnex external control heater Maxijet 600 PH Wisper 10gal HOB filter Lights??? I think I am going to make a hood to house 2 or 3 20W 50/50 screw in's. I think I am going to try for the 3x20W for a lot of light. With that much light I might have to get one of those little chillers on ebay No fish in it this time! I have not decided on what is going to go in it. Any suggestions? MANTIS?????? Link to comment
Prowland Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Anyone know where I can get the 20W 50/50 screw in's? Link to comment
PhatSOB Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 www.mops.ca is where I get mine but I am sure that you could probably find them in the US as well. MOPS ships to the US. Link to comment
Prowland Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Thanks for the link. I am going to try and find some local. As for the lighting I think I have decided to get a double socket for 2 20W 50/50 screw in's and I am going to try and get a small actinic floursecent tube in there as well so I can do a dusk/dawn affect. I just love the pics that people take with just the actinic light on! Depending on the size of the stuff I may try and fit 3 50/50 screw in's in the hood. Here is a link to a 50/50 bulb that I want to try: http://www.petco.com/Shop/petco_Product_Na...llers0-_-906140 It says: Designed for use where space is limited but powerful lighting is desired. A single ten watt Mini Compact Fluorescent gives the same output as a 50 watt incandescent bulb. Self-ballasted, low operating temperature bulb fits a standard medium base. High-intensity output 50% 10,000K daylight and 50% actinic 03 blue light enhances fresh and saltwater aquariums. I am still looking for a 20W bulb though. Now off to start planning the hood!!!

PhatSOB Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 best of luck, I have a bunch of info about the 20w Coralife bulbs in my pico thread (see sig) if you want any, but I can't really help you find them in the US. Link to comment
jg7 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Anyone know where I can get the 20W 50/50 screw in's? I bought my Coralife 50/50 20 watt screw in light bulbs from Petsmart.com. That website always has them in stock. Here is a link... Petsmart.com - Coralife 20 watt bulb Link to comment
