Thanks Rogger.....Yes I'm taken my sweet time.....I'm happy so far with the project....but now I'm getting down to the wire.......I have everything ready to go.......the reason why I'm waiting....its not so much setting up the new tank...its taken down the old one....the new tank is going where my 38 gal is now......so when I'm ready this has to be done all in the same day........behind the tank I want to drill a few holes in the wall which goes to my kitchen....I have empty cabinet space.....I will be storing my top off water and maybe a chiller........all in all its going pretty smooth......
BTW Its a 75....lol

I just love T5's, on another note, yesterday I was at Big Lots and I got a set of 3 12" mini flourescent lights that chain together for my underneath. They have a great colour and run very cool. $ 14.00 for the set. Can't beat it!

Well, Big Lots is a weird store, what you see today might be gone tommorrow and all the stores have different things, this came from the store in Hialeah, 57th Ave and Palmetto (by the Home Depot), in the aisle with the lighting stuff and they had more. I had these 3 round halogen lights underneath and they where so yellow and very hot, so when I saw those I thought this would be nice and it worked our better than I imagined. It's a package with 3 slim 12" strips with clips and connector cables, shouldn't be hard to spot. And they are $ 14 something.

Hey Brian, hope your doing well. Don't mean to change subject but I'm still trying to get a hold of you and those fan grills and screws. I have a newborn and it's been difficult, but I still greatly need the grills and screws. Please tell me where to meet you during the day and I'll drive to you during my work hours and pick up the grills and screws. It will be really difficult to meet at the FMAS as by that time I'm elbow deep in diaper changes and feedings. Please let me know.

Thanks

 

[Speckled Grouper]

Brian, that's them.
Did you find any?
