Hey Brandon...yeah, I moved to a new house that has dial-up only. I have been on DSL/Cablem modems for so long I can't stand to get on the internet anymore.

Anywho, I will definately check out the links you provided.

Thanks,
Travis

Solar Tubes for lighting??

A freind of mine is thinking of using a solar tube for their new reef tank. I have some concerns that this may be a bad idea. Although, he has been told that with a tube coming almost directly over the tank with a cap that defuses the light that it is strong enough for hard corals. Although, everyth...

One of the reporters here at the Mobile Register has a gulf tank setup. He lives very close to the fairhope pier and uses a cast net to get different fish and shrimp for the tank. He also has different clams, oysters, and barnacles from there and down off Dauphin Is. He does water changes once a wee...

I will definately be coming, but Shelly probably won't be able to make it; she has to pick her parents up at the airport...

Also, could you email us directions?

Thank you,

Welcome. I think that the PC's are your best bet. They dont' produce a lot of heat like MH and the LOA lights. On a 10 gallon a couple of 13 watt pc's would be good to keep most softies. I actually have a retro kit that I could probably use to upgrade the hood. Are you running an overflow? What kin...

Thank you Xster, I think I just want to start out simple for now. But I would like to eventually try some SPS in the future. I like the idea using Shagmans's idea with the MH. Do you have any place in particular that sells them cheap?

Thanks,

I currently have just the hood that came with the tank. It's one of those cheap hoods that have the two smaller type bulbs. I put 2 50/50 10w PC bulbs in there. Hopefully that will be enough for some softies and LPS. I would like to try the setup that ShagMan has illustrated at some point; are those...
