it is a Sunlight Supply Reef Optix 3. From google-ing, it looks like replacement glass is about $15. I was just hoping to just drive up to one of the many glass shops on Gude Dr and ask for UV Tempered glass in 3/16".

Big and small pieces :( Wasnt sure if there was some UV Coated glass or something that is needed.

So I was messing around with my tank and splashed water onto my pendant by accident and BANG! glass shattered all over and into the tank. Question is, do I need some special glass? or can I just goto a glass shop and ask them to cut me the same size to replace?

or use a sheet of vinyl. Comes in different colors and you can cut to fit without all the mess of painting. Plus if you ever decide you want to change the color, you can rip off the vinyl and apply another color. Assuming you have easy access to the rear of the tank.

My two are model citizens.

It's FedEx's fault. The seller SHOULD take out insurance for this stuff. At minimum he could file a claim for $100 of he didnt buy extra insurance.

I may decide to, Ill need to lay it out in my head and see how this will look.

i guess I could always build another canopy. Just needs to be taller. Not sure the powerhead idea would work sine the center braces of the tank would get in the way?

Thanks Justin, I might try it. Right now Im going SPS, but I have LPS in tank. The tank has (4) 36" T5s used for actinic lighting in the canopy. If I did this, the track would have to be attached onto the canopy and raised up. The ceiling is kinda high where the tank is so I dont know about mounting to the ceiling and having it hang down so far. Actually, I think the end result in all this will be my wife telling me Ive made her kitchen look messy resulting in me having to revert back to my old setup

Im thinking about replacing my (3) 250W Metal Halide over my 125G (6ft) tank with a single pendant on a light track. Will one pendant running back and forth for 8 hours be enough lighting? It takes 20 min to go 6 feet, so every hour it goes back and forth 3 times. If it is enough, this would be cutting some of my electric bill and lower the heat in summer, which in turn would also lower my chiller use. I figure I'd save about $20-25 per month on electric bill by ditching 500W worth of lighting, not including chiller use. What are your thoughts? http://www.hydrofarm.com/pb_detail.php?itemid=3212

Stomatella maybe?... good for the tank. I used to have them, but havent seen in a while

This one was real nice from today.. I missed it :(

Too bad my Purple Tand would kill it in about 1 hour.

I had one destroy a colony once. Find his sleeping spot and nab him at night.

I have some XM 15k, Ushio 14K DE 250W I could donate to this cause.

darn, that is cheap! I just placed an order w/ Hellolights too! At least they will price match my prior order.

darnit.. mine went missing today. Saw him in the morning, but now gone. Usually when it is feeding time he is out. Looked all around and in the overflows/sump and nothin :( Hopefully he is just hiding somewhere.

Naw, RBTA is ok. It looks bleached caus it just split. When my RBTA split, they hide under the rock for almost a month it seems. They turn bright pink during that time, but they slowly change back to rose color Havent started the Interceptor treatment yet. Im actually going to treat outside the display tank. I have a frag tank coming soon which I will setup, then move all the Acros to. Then treat with Interceptor there. How long does the display tank have to go for without acros before the red bugs die off?

I was in the process of taking it apart, but one of the knobs wont come off and without the knob off, I cant get to the dang carb! After blowing a heater on it for 30 min, it fired up for a good 5-10 secs before cutting off. Now I cant get it restarted again. I'll try again in the morning I guess.

Crap... generator starts fine, but snowblower wont. :( I put a new spark plug in, still nothing. Im thinking maybe I flooded it. I'll try draining the carb and letting it sit some next.

I love how they say... it depends on the track of the storm. But we wont know until sometime Sat. LMAO. Seriously, best job there is has got to be a weatherman. You get paid for spewing random forecasts and are not accountable if you are wrong or you are right.

Was planning on firing up the snowblower and generator tomorrow too. Thanks for the reminder! For those who use 12V auto batteries and inverters as backups, double check those are fully charged as well.

7x7 with a 20" bulb?? Ive seen small T5 pendants before, but cant find it now for the life of me. They looked to be about 1/4 the length of your typical T5 bulb. Im about to setup a 16x16x8 frag tank and will prolly use a 250W MH Pendant. Or whatever I can find used for cheap
