Hey kmu,

Is it Aragamaxâ"žÂ¢Sugar Sized Sand or Aragamaxâ"žÂ¢Select?
 
I think I'm going with this combo of sand...or coral...whatever...
-20 lbs CaribSea Arag-Alive Reef Sand (1-2mm)
-10 lbs CaribSea Ocean Direct Original Grade (0.5-1mm)
 
Hey Solana tank stand owners, who have the Current-USA stand, I've had to build mine, and that back side of the stand with the hole, does yours align up top or down low?
 
Any advise for getting to the bulb on the HQI orb pendant? I can't get to the chain (it's all the way inside) and prying with my fingers is bending the lip.
 
Ok, done. I thought the black part came out too. A bit bent in a couple spots but removed, cleaned and changed. First bulb change. Put in a Pheonix 14000k bulb. Test fired it and it works. Can't wait for my timer to kick on and see what we get after a few hours of burn in.

Is anyone using the Hamilton fixture on their Solana? I'm going to upgrade my 150 and like having the t5 actinics along with a double ended 250 14k phoenix bulb in hamilton.

Please let me know what you think of it. I am thinking about doing the same thing.

I am using the Current 24" Outer Orbit 250W with 2x24W T5s with a Phoenix 14k bulb and I LOVE it! The color and intensity is perfect for me.
