Daemonfly Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 2.5g tank at my petsmart = $9 2x13w ~$15-$20 on ebay. Actually, 2x18w Coralife fixture for $15 http://cgi.ebay.com/Coralife-12-Saltwater-...1QQcmdZViewItem Those filters are cheap as hell too. Not as great of a deal as everyone is making it out to be. Decent price for everything all in the same box though, I guess. Link to comment

CapHillReef Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I ordered the 2.7 Gallon from them when they had those packaged with the same light and filter... Magically it was out of stock and off the webpage the next day. I had to send an email and he said I could have the 2.5g or the 1.6g. I told him I'd take the 1.6 g, which disappeared off the site a week later. Anyway, I don't have a tank or a tracking number or anything yet. I still hope it will end up well, but I'm starting to doubt it. Link to comment

Obsessed Reefer Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 How are the lights? I might buy this tank a little later on and turn it into a Xenia Prop. Tank. Link to comment
Sea_Of_Treachery Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 the lights are pretty good, but not square or strait pin, the just connect to the little wires, another thing is it doesn't have a splash guard, but the fixture is high enough up. also added a blue background and 4 pieces of live rock from my 24g aquapod.

Obsessed Reefer Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Ok well I can always make a splash gaurd. Is there enought filtration? Link to comment
Sea_Of_Treachery Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 this filter sucks, noisy as hell, i have to turn it off at night so i can get some sleep. its supposed to put out 66gph, which is plenty for a 2.5, thats a little over 26X turnover.the hood gest HOT and i mean, when i touch it, it almost burns. but the water doesn't warm up much, i have no heater, with lights off its 72, with lights on its only about 76-78.
