NJLuke Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 hey- I finally found that 2.5 AGA at a lfs called Creature Castle for like 11.99. What a steal.(not really, but atleast i found it!) I finished the first known of full sized stand for the "mini-tank". I will try to get some pics up by Mon. or Tues. 1.) I was just wondering for all those 2.5er's out there what you guys used for circulation. I have a mini penguin laying around, and I can always spare a 20 for a new fancy powerhead. I am just kinda wondering when is water movement too much water movement. 2.) Lighting- I have currently a Jali setup that I bought for like i think 50 bucks when i was a newb to go over one of my refuges(stupid buy... ) But it has 1x13watt phillips bulb in it. It fits OK over the tank and provides good lighting for now. As soon as i can get around to it I am going to build a canopy for the 2.5 (gotta go get that Black N Decker 5 n 1 tool!!) What i was wondering was would it be cheaper to get bookworm lights or just a 2x13watt PC bright kit from AHSupply?? And where can I find the bookworms?? Thanks a bunch guys! -Luke Link to comment

They are with the utility lights, etc and they are packaged with yellow endcaps and are called RightLites. They are $20 per. HTH! Link to comment
NJLuke Posted June 23, 2003 Author Share Posted June 23, 2003 Yeah thw smallest aquaclear looks like it will work out. Plus I could hook up one of those fancy dansy surface skimmers to it. Anybody know the dimensions of that puppy so i can make sure it will fit before i go out and snag one? Also- I think I will just save the dough and get the AHSupply 2x13watts, that way I can get better bulbs and whatnot from hellolights with it at the same time and not have to figure out what to do with a little book worm bulb. Although i do like how they come in their own little enclouser thingys. I will have some pics by tonight of the stand and everything. Hopefully I will be able to get to the store to get a hydrometer(sat on my old one....no it wasnt the dip kind...pervert) and some LR and LS. Thanks for all the help guys! -Ride it -Luke Link to comment
NJLuke Posted June 23, 2003 Author Share Posted June 23, 2003 Hey Kids! I finally got it started! I couldnt resize (too lazy) my pics so I posted them on my car webpage. Please excuse the messyness of my room and the unclarity of the tank- sand hasnt settled. But look at that beautiful stand! haha. Thanks guys! -Luke www.geocities.com/NJLuke22/Hobbies.htm Link to comment
