Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
The powder bule might be okay with another yellow or "round" tang type like a Scopas (I like the coloring of the Scopie) or black (just an absolutely stunning fish).
Tropiquarium has a Rhomboid Golden Fairy wrasse in stock that looks pretty fat and healthy (provided it hasn't been sold over the...
A guy on RC used Krylon Fusion on his overflows, it peeled off after awhile, might be worth a shot. Best bet is probably what Brian said and get some acrylic cut at a local glass/acrylic shop.

ILC is about an hour drive for me (one way), and it is definitely worth every single second of driving time. Ed is absolutely AWESOME!!!! His crew are just great. Oh and Ed, if you happen to walk into work one day and that little display tank is missing? Don't come looking at my house. I might...
This is my baby, his name is Elishe (after the rogue I play on Everquest). When the SUV's first became popular I was probably the loudest opponent of them, bascially: "If you see one, run it off the road." Now I have Elishe and the only thing I will trade him in for is a newer Explorer or a...
If you take a look at my tank, I have the same fixture that you (I think). Your tanks is probably only 3 inches taller than mine is, so the light in the tank should be pretty close. I will post a pic of the tank when I get home from work.
Everything in the tank has been doing pretty well so...
I would think as long as your water params are fine it should do well. My experience is limited to carpets and seabaes (I know I'm spelling that wrong, haven't had enough coffee yet). Growth will really be determined by your feeding schedule: feed it less=less growth, feed it constantly=HUGE...
I can drop off a nice bunch of green gracillara...I need to get it out of my tank. It's yours for free if you want it, just let me know where to drop it off lol.

A 150W 20k metal halide about 8 or 9 inches off the surface would be a way to go. Check with Ed over at ILC to see how much it would cost, I think it would only be about $30 more than the fixture your looking at.
Tom
I have some pocillipora that has been doing awesome under the PC's and I am very happy with the performance of the fixture. The 10K light has a slight high pitched whine, but with 2 computers in the room I don't really notice it until I shut it off. I never even hear the actinics, just the fan...
I definitely hear that. During the week I am usually available after 5 PM, weekends I can be available at any time. You let me know what's convenient for you and I will work around that.
Tom
Sounds like it. If it's the same thing as what I put on my FOWLR then it will take all of 5 minutes to hook-up, barring any unforseen incidents (they make life oh so interesting)
I acutally ran my old 75 with a 40 gallon sump that way. I made a "baffle" out of eggcrate, floss and 100 micron pad...
Irr,
My current setup is a 5.5 gallon nano, which really is not much different of a setup than a 20L and my new tank is going to be roughly a modified 29. You can dril the 20 with a 1 inch bulkhead and drop that to a 29 gallon sump. Total tank cost would be roughly $100 give or take a few...
