  1. I dont think halogen ballasts can provide the startup voltage needed for MH's You can get MH ballasts and fittings for around $170+ new.
  2. Do a "power saver" bulb conversion

  5. I hate people who dont reply to my emails or take far too long to reply. Im thinking about spending $1,000's with you! RESPOND
  6. If a heater breaks a heater breaks. Some of us do cold water changes also. I would still all ways recommend 2w of heating per L. Though i want to find a small good looking <40w heater for one of my tanks
  7. Ahhh, the site crapped out on me so i hit post again. Thus 2 posts. Woods out of the tanks now. Edit: For fear of assassination
  8. Dont listen to the marks on the heater. Some of mine are set @30c and the tanks @ 22c :roll: Over kill is better. If you get a cold snap the heater will able to handle the air temp drop. I have a 1000w heater in a 270L and it wont cook my fish unless the thermo breaks
  9. Next ones going to be called Scorpion!

  11. But if you get a 240v solenoid and regulator you should be fine

    Spot on Vinson You need 3 things for good growth. These are: CO2 or Flourish Excel(bio carbon) + Good lighting + A fert of some sort(PMDD)
  14. Yes, if there is too much CO2 in the water they will suffocate. CO2 can also cause ph swings in water with low buffering properties
  15. This one? http://aendirect.com/aquarium/a-guide-t ... atinoides/ I have 100w @6500K in my 38L. Fresh bulb also. You should see all the glosso that i have growing on my desk next to me :lol:
  16. Increase the lighting, dose a fert and dose with Flourish Excel How bigs the tank?
  17. Over grown: With no stargrass and some other plants: Tanks getting stripped down on thurs and will have just glosso on the bottom 8) Aiming for a nice tight carpet with a bit of wood sticking out of it.
  18. Datnoids Oscars Other bichirs Pleco's Arowana's Anything thats not overly aggressive and wont fit it is each others mouth's.
  19. How long do you need it? Just keep it to a minimum. Make sure you have wire that can handle the heat output of the MH's or you will have a fire on your hands!
