theres a maxijet 600 inside the first chamber with a hose barb fitting and a peice of green eheim tubing attached to the intake of the powerhead. the ide was to make it just like a powerfilter where the pump draws water out of the main tank and into the first chamber in fuge, then up and over...

yes i did heres a picture of it before plumbing. i had christian at www.wetdryfilter.com make it for me. he added it to his line of filters at his site. but he will do differant dimensions if you want.

heres a couple of post from glazer showing some of the work he has done. just email him with an idea and type of wood to see what he can do. black walnut is spendy stuff so remember it will raise the price. maple or mahogany is a cheaper very classy wood i have used in the past...

if you get ahold of Glazer on the www.nano-reef.com he has made some very kewl canopys out of like black walnut. i no he had one for a 5.5 gal tank which might be close to the same size you have. check him out. if you do the canopy then i would do a single 32w for now until you can affoard to...

to bad this won't fit http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... gory=20755 i really don't know how much room you have. your tank specs say its 15" wide but does that mean that the light area is that wide or more like 12"? if i were wanting to go cheap and keep the origianal hood then i would...

i was being sarcastic but i could put one together for about that. ballast 22.00, bulbs 17.00 each,endcaps 8.00 for both, reflector 10-15 bucks did you check out hello lights? here 2x28w raw ballast Price: $26.95 Description Item Code:62-62003 * Raw Electronic Ballast - DIY or...

i think your wasting your money. 73.00 for that! you can find the 27w quad bulbs at homedepot for about 3.50(there replacment bulbs for outdoor security lights). the 9w and 13w bulbs are the same size and use the same ballast so you might as well have a 13w actinic. really for 73.00 i'll sell...

if you have the 380 then it says a single 13w pink plant bulb is what came with the tank. might want to put a 50/50 bulb on there for now. i was thinking your tank came with a little pendant like the 418 model

its not blue, its a gray/black. its called calcite by seachem, a friend had half an extra bag when i set this up but i would go with aragonite if i did it again. calcite is a form of calcium carbonate but its minded inland instead of from the ocean. its a pure form and looks nice but the...

HOB filters are ok but the problem is you can't put a sand bed in it. theres alot of folk that use one with just rock and some macro and have good results. you can make a cheap acrylic refugium from one of those critter cages. they come in differant sizes and then just drill them and bulkhead...

well if your light consisits of 2 bulbs there probablly like 9watts each. you can upgrade to 13w bulbs and still use the same ballast. and i have seen plenty of soft coral nano's under similiar lighting that do fine. i'm obsessed with lighting my tanks so i would say LIGHT IT UP! but thats your...

heres the same tank 3 months later with a 3x32w pendant over the top and a 5gal refugium behind it

i think you should go with the minibow7 instead of the 5. i know they charge a bit more for them but there glass and you'll have a much better experiance cleaning it then the 5gal. your lighting should be a single 32w 50/50 bulb. you can buy the bulb and endcap from hellolights for under 20.00...

my zoanthids i have been collecting since i got into this hobby and they have gone from tank to tank. i'm always on the look out for new colors and if its something i just gotta have i've paid or traded some very sweet corals for them. but everyone should have a favorite coral. alot of friends...

lol! theres actually a guy on another board i hang out on that has a shotglass nano. its a bit larger than your normal shotglass but its pretty kewl. if i remember he has 1 ounce of sand, small mushroom frag on a tiny peice of rubble, one other small frag on tiny peice of rubble, he uses sea...
