Fishfreak218 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 i dont have a dremel.....SP? Link to comment
Cesar Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I was about to ask the same question. How is that light holding there. Does it like fit perfectly in width size? Link to comment
Casabubu Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 hahaha im glad that you asked! As you can see in the pic, the light is resting on the wire. It works for now, but I will probably put a glass cover over the tank soon. Link to comment
Cesar Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 WOW, that's awfully dangerous man. One little shake and that thing goes into that tank and forget it, lights out. It's ok now because there is no water. Link to comment
Casabubu Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 Ya, i know, I just put it like that for the picture Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 no...actually i have had the coralife 18w light and it droped into my 10g twice....let ti sit for a while and dry...it worked after bith times...i still have that light and it still works but i got a new one for the contest....anyway...im not suggesting you leave it like that but im jsut saying mine worked..after being droped in the water 2 diff. times Link to comment
JxMetal Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Just put two paint stirrers under the light across the tank. It'll rest perfectly. Link to comment
Casabubu Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 good idea, JxMetal, but for now im thinking of hanging it or building a canopy. Link to comment
Casabubu Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 I ordered my live rock and live sand today !! I ordered from premium aquatics, as I have had great expieriences with them in the past. I bought 5 pounds of lr, 4 pounds of ls, 1 margarita snail, 2 nassarious snails, and 2 baha red leg hermits. Now I play the waiting game Link to comment
Casabubu Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 well, turns out I cant ship livestock via priority mail, so I only ordered the live rock and live sand. Link to comment
Casabubu Posted October 29, 2005 Author Share Posted October 29, 2005 omg.... I was playing around with the 9w bulbs that came with my coralife fixture (trying to design a canopy), and I droped one of them. Well, it droped like 3" and SMASH!! The reef gods are against me in this tank! Things gone wrong thus far: 1)equipment was delayed 4 days 2)power filter was back ordered (still havent received it) 3)couldnt get livestock I wanted because they cant be shiped via priority mail 4)Live rock/ Live sand order was delayed because the livestock couldnt be shipped 5)actinic bulb cracked and my lfs doesnt stock it sorry about the rant, just had to get that out Link to comment
NanoBobby Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Keep on trucking... Lots of time left. Eventually, your luck has to swing. Link to comment
jmorris Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I know how you feel... my tanks are finally on their way, but I just found outthatthe stand/cabinet I ordered from target.com was backordered, and will not get here untill the 10th atthe earliest, 14th at the latest! I'll wish you luck if you do the same for me! lol! Jared Link to comment

Ann Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Arggghh! Sorry to hear of your problems, lets hope that's the end of them now. I'm still waiting on my lights/pump too. Fingers crossed that it all comes together in the end for us. Best regards Ann Link to comment
