Web Guy Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Has anyone tried to fit this in the back of the 12DX tank to grow some Chaeto? I have something else rigged up right now in Chamber 3 with it but was wondering if I could move my LR from Chamber 2 to 1 and fill up Chamber 2 with the Chaeto and that light. If I notched out the plastic light cover a little I sure think it would. Well if anyone has tried or know someone who has please let me know. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4375708146&rd=1 Thanks, Web Guy Link to comment
FishFreak Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I have chaeto in my #2 compartment. I have light spill over from my 72 watts. Link to comment
Chronicles Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 It will if you cut a hole in the splash guard. It would basicly run exactly from the bottom to the very top of the hood. Link to comment
Web Guy Posted May 1, 2005 Author Share Posted May 1, 2005 I measured it and that is what I see, I wonder if the cord would rap under and go out the back thru a hole and gromet. For now I am using a small 4 watt bulb like on my sons 1 gallon tank. I figured it has to help. And if it keeps it alive I am going to mount it in the hood. I will cut square hole and replace it with clear plexi to let the light penetrate more. I have seen others keep it alive in the 3rd chamber just from light spill over. I am going to Fry's tommorow for two new fans as discussed before and a power adapter for them. Thank god my LFS is nice and carrys most of the stuff I need. Chaeto was $5 for a nice large handfull or baggy. Link to comment
Bobbozr2 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I doubt that that light is of a good enough spectrum to support chaeto growth. Link to comment
CubeDude Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I think I read that the light bulb can not be changed. The light is basically disposable. Link to comment
Rott Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I ordered this from ebay and they sent me a 20" one. they did send my money back but wouldnt send me the 13" light i guess they are out of stock. Cant find this light anywhere online. anyone knows where i can find it please reply. thanks. Link to comment
mdt178 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 This guy may have it soon. http://www.aquatraders.com/index.asp?PageA...ATS&Category=28 I got it at my LFS for $10+tax. I put it in the 24 NC with some caulerpa and chaeto. After 3 weeks, I can see some minor chaeto growth and some new shoots on the caulerpa, but it's not crazy growth like a true fuge. I will put in another tube to see. The Ebay seller wanted $10 for the light and $10 for shipping? That's funny. Link to comment
