up and running

[TikiDan]

rather than go to the swap yesterday, I decided to finish moving tanks. I went from a 72 bow front to an AGA 125 Reef Ready! Everything went well and as a bonus, No Floaters! What do you think?
I am also in the market for some new coral if anyone has anything to trade let me know.

Looking good,Question I have the same light fixture and broke two halide bulbs while trying to replace them,Their's no play once their in place and the only option is to lift on the bulbs.Have you had the same experience?

Tikidan, so far so good, now the only thing you will need is to spend even more money

Thysroft, the best way to replace those double ended bulbs is to push the bulb aganst one of the pin, and then use your finger to push on the other pin away from the bulb and carefully lift the bulb away in an angle.

There is a lube that you can purchase to help the bulbs slide in.
I'll find out the name.

i remember it is called dielectric grease. I used it on my blueine pendents it worked great. Don't get it on the main part of the bulb. just on the fixture slots.
