I have a 2x250w hqi/mh with dual 96w pc actinics (SP) I just changed the pc's (less than a week ago) and they were working fine until last night the rear bulb was out. I check if it was a loos connection but it was fine. The bulb wants to fire up but never lights. Is this a bad bulb or a bad...

Can anyone help me in setting this up. I bought a used one and don't have directions. The directions on-line are not so good. Also, I want to try to set this up with a pump feed and not a gravity y feed, is this a good idea? Thanks

I will look into that Thanks

Re: Help with Satndpipe/Bulkhead isssue It is a slip and it is the bulkhead that came with the tank. (bought it used) The pipe does not want to go all the way down. I hope I don't have to change the bulkhead???

Re: Help with Satndpipe/Bulkhead isssue It is the drain which is all the more confussing to me why it pops out when the return pump goes on???

One of my standpipes will not sit tight in to the bulkhead. (of course I find this out after I fill the tank with water) When I turn on my return pump the pipe pops out of the bulkhead. I think that maybe the pipe from the bottom of the bulkhead to the sump may be to high into the bulkhead not...

DaveK That make a lot of sense. I use a Ranco Temp Controller on my 55 to control a fan over my sump. Seams my tank is pron to being hot as opposed to cold?

Thanks I am leaving this Sat will return next Sat so I will be gone for one week. When I get back I will test the water if I have no Ammonia, trites or trates I will doe the transfer? Does this sound correct? Thanks again Dan

I am upgrading my 55 to a 140 I bought an extra 100# of cured rock which has been sitting in a tub in my garage. I have filled the 140 half way and was thinking of adding the new rock to the tank tonight and leave a power head on for circulation. I figure it will be the same as being in the tub...

yes my wife likes it cool. The tank is a 140 that is half full as I am upgrading from a 55. I just put a small heater in that I use for my water change bucket to see if I can get the temp up to 75.

Ok My tank is running at 68-70 right now? Should I wait or put the rock in now?

OK I am getting ready to transfer so LR that has been in a bin in my garage for a week. The temp in the garage w/o a heater is 80. I want to move the rock in my new tank that has water and sand only. I Have the salinity level set but I do not have a heater yet. Will putting the rock in cause a...
