very nice, see i would do that just because you still have a hood and its closed right now i have the hood open in the front and back and its 75-76. so i guess that fan you put in the back has its own power supply?

 

Why have all the hoods open? I bought my BC29 because I liked the clean closed top look.

 

Yes it has it own power supply. You can by a cheap power supply from Radio Shack or on eBay. You could even order one from Newegg when you order fans. The more voltage the faster the fan rpm's but this will also make more fan noise. I used a 9 volt power suppply for mine the rpm moves enough air and the fan is very quite. I had a Silnex 60x60x25 fan with the full12 volts running it and it was super quite, then the fan craped out and I had this one laying around but when I hooked up the 12 volts it was loud. I had a 9 volt power supply from one my fried out wireless routers, it works perfect.

alright im preparing to change my chamber 2 setup, currently have lr in it and i want to make it a refuge. im thinking about leaving the false floor in and just filling it with chaeto. any reason why this wont work? im going to get a light of course, maybe from steviet if he takes care of my fish saver issue!

 

the fish save makers built it wrong so they are sending me a new one!!! sweet. cant wait found my clown on top of the grate above chamber 2 this morning

Mine are the photo type.

 

Also how do you frag a gorg? Never reallyread anything about how to do it.

this is non photo, and all i did was just cut them off, i gave my buddy a good size peice and he cut two off that, that would be the frags you,re getting. once he saw you said that he said he'd trade you 2 for 2. i told him to pm you if you were serious
