Angel<3Nanos Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Cool looking. Looks space age! Thank you! Alright everyone, today im trying to find a replacement for the LEDs, but it's turning out a bit complicated. :/ If you look at tge the picture I posted of the LEDs it came with, you will notice a clear square lid. Well on top of the tank the acrylic is white, amd there's a hole where the lid goes and the light rests on top. So either I find a fixture as a circle or idk. :/ I was looking at the ecoxotic par38 fixtures, but I keep hearing stories of people who hang them above the tank because they are to bright for corals. And With my tank only having that hole. Lol The only way would be for the fixture to have a dimmer. So I found this ... http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=330869453636 Now I know its a cheap fixture but im only growing zoas, rics, and maybe a hammer or so. Which doesnt really require too much light. And with me paying for Vet school, well im a little short in money lol So let me know what you guys think. Link to comment

Wiilio Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 You could always paint the back blue I paint the back of every tank I have just because it hides cords and such, and makes the tank look cleaner. You can sometimes find mp10s in the hardware classifieds for good prices.I might actually be doing this if I can find one of these. But there aren't too many Petcos around here. Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hey guys bought the par38 36w LED 20k full spectrum dimmable with switch! now we wait! Link to comment

My 20Long was painted and I loved it. Ohh how I miss it. Lol And well fathers day is coming sooo.. maybe mp10! Hehe wife buys the present my daughter gives me so ill ask hehe. And if you ever find one of these let me know because there's a little leaking problem but its easy to fix. You see, there's a plastic lid between the tank and sump. There's a small water "path" that leads to a hole where water falls into the sump, just got to makr that hole bigger to avoid the water overflowing. Very simple. Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Lol I wouldn't put an MP10 in a tank that small. Even on it's lowest setting you're going to make a mess in there. Just get a stronger return pump and you'll be golden. Maybe a Y split for the nozzle for double directional control. Link to comment

I'll use my mp10 for my 85Long im still working on. Link to comment

They are just too cool!! But oh god! I've seen pom poms with no nems, so sad. But my buddy said he will make sure they come with the nems! so fingers crossed!! Link to comment
jadedanime Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Well it's not like he can do much, they get stressed the nems will die. But like I said, hope you get nems with yours. They are so skittish already that without their main defense/eating mechanism they hide like 24/7 Link to comment
