LekicINC Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Catilina has a 2.7 2.7 gallon tank. It comes with 2 13 watt bulb hood a thermometer and hob filter...that ill probably replace. Thats 10 watts per gallon which is not bad sicne is just want softies? this is the link: http://www.catalinaaquarium.com/product_in...roducts_id=1340 I need to order my tank by monday for timing reasons and after a lot of research am still not sure what to do. Im thinking anything from jbj 6, cpr 3 or 6 to this tank. Also if there is a step by step guide, like steelhairs guide for jbj 24 g dx for setting up a 2.5 minibow, can someone let me know where i can find it? Link to comment
mickey85 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I think you could grow pretty much everything but SPS in there... Link to comment
oven Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 That looks awesome, let me know how it turns out. I may get one for myself!! Link to comment
LekicINC Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 just ordered one, any mods you would make to one? Link to comment
oven Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 just ordered one, any mods you would make to one? i dunno, but i want one so bad. I think i'd leave it the way it is. I have a 30g with a sump underneith, and its just not worth it unless you have a BIG tank. I really want to try a HOB to keep it simple, and microbubble-less, lol. I 'm going to put it in my bedroom, and it just to display.. Link to comment
SRT80 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I have a 20 gallon with just a penguin 125 HOB filter (no bio wheel). I change the filter pad and do a 2 gallon water change once every 2 weeks. Everything is fine. I only have 2 fish, a ocellaris clown and firefish. I'm real happy with the setup. Very easy to take care of. Steve Link to comment
LekicINC Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 Thanks, any ideas what HOB you would put on? Also, I dont know much about how to work lighting fixtures, if you look at the picture of the hood, is there any way i could put moon lights led in there? Link to comment
pet_doc Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 There is a current satellite fixture that is 12" and 2x18 watts with an led moonlight. Link to comment
LekicINC Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 Do you have a link as to where i could buy this fixture? This would have to be a replacement to the hood that comes with the tank right? There is no way using the two togethor? I know a good amount about caring about a reef, not much about the lighting and mechanics. I am trying to learn though, any information would be very much appreciated. Link to comment
SRT80 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 The only thing about the current 2x18 watt light is I have seen it on sites for around $80. Thats alot of money for a little light. I dont know if you dont have the space but I think you would be better off to get a 10 gallon aquarium and get the 20" 40 watt light. Would give you more room. I have a 24" 65 watt current satelite light that I use to have over a 10 gallon. The fixture hangs off the top 2 in" on each side but the bulb covers the entire tank. Looks pretty good. I then switched to a 20 gallon, used the same light. The upgraded to a 130 watt light. Steve Link to comment
LekicINC Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 I'm in a dorm...so i want something smaller than a 10... Link to comment
LekicINC Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 Thanks, it helps a lot, anyone have any suggestions what hob filter to use Link to comment
Nanomaniac Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 The 18watt Current USA Satellite fixture is around $44.00. You can buy them at Marinedepot or Nanotuners. For an hob filter I recommend an AquaClear. Link to comment
