    TMC Mountaray bracket dimensions

    Hey folks. I'm interested to know how the Mountaray bracket fits over a tank. How far forward does the tile sit when mounted with one? I ask, as I'm thinking about one over a nano, which is about 20cm front to back. Just concerned it may be too big.

    Help with WPG rule and reducing wattage

    It's best to have a "mid day" burst half way through your lighting period. So if you have 2 on for 8 hours in total you would want to set your other 2 to come on after 3 hours and go off after 6 (2 hour burst in the middle). Hope that makes sense :)

    Aqua Medic Ocean light 150 MH pendant - HQI?

    Hey all. Just got hold of one of these which needed a new MH bulb. I bought an HQI bulb as I was sure this is what it takes. After fitting it and switching it on, all I get is a quiet buzzing sound and no light :eh: If a unit isn't HQI, is this what will happen? Should I have bought a...

    Hey all. just a quick question. Any one have one of the Hagen T5HO light units? I'm wondering how wide the mounting brackets are, and what thickness of tank rim they'll sit on. I'm looking at the dual 39w at the moment :)

    Interpet Power Compact - Replacement tubes?

    I have an 18w PC in my little nano and I could only get a "beauty" tube for it, and quite frankly it sucks! I've been looking around and found a Tri-Plus but interpet tubes for the 18w seem quite limited. I've been hunting about and found that the endcap is a 2G11 fitment. Looking on...

    Opinions on these T8 tubes?

    Hey gang. I posted this in my YAR180 journal, but thought I'd post hear for a more specific thread. I'm looking for new T8 30w tubes for my Rio 180. The following 2 types of tube are what I'm thinking, but I have no clue what they'll look like. I'd really appreciate any advice. I need 4...

    Lighting a 4ft. Opinions?

    Just a quick general question really. I will be setting up a 4ft (approx 200 litre) tank soon and I'm wondering what lighting I should consider. The tank will hopefully be an echo of the fantastic long tank at TGM, but perhaps not identical. Planting wise, I'll be going glosso and eleocharis...

    How much light?

    Hey all. I'm looking at yet another tank setup and I'm doing some pre-setup research. The tank will be 18x12x12, sand substrate, probably TPN+ ferts and probably Excel dosing. Planting will be mainly vallis sp., eleocharis sp. and some stems, such as Bacopa Monnieri and other delicate stems...
