They are the epiled hybrids from ebay. I worked a group buy with some friends and a lfs, and got a really good deal. The seller was AC-RC.

I seen (in person) a guy who is using 30 watt mult-chips. I had never realized they provided enough PAR, but he said honestly he had to raise them with his acros as he was burning stuff all the time. He has some 16' tubs that used to be lit with 8 30 watt multi's and a few T5's for actinic. He ended up using 6 multis just to provide some lower light areas.
Truly impressed.

I hope it never catches on, I like having the oldest tank on here and I don't have to worry about calcification, bio pellets, Vodka dosing, DSBs, Chaetomorpha (I don't even know what that is) Carbonite hardness and all of these other things many people worry about. If I had to think about all of that stuff I would get a stroke. My test kit came in a wooden box and the directions say to keep in a cool chariott. I throw some food in the tank, wave hello to the fish and go out with my wife and have a nice glass of merlot with dinner. Have a great day but most of all, have fun. -PaulB Current Tank Info: 27 Gallon DAS softy/fish reef |

Well, I get my CO2 tank filled at the fire extinguisher store, but it takes 6 months at 1 bubble of CO2 at the time to drain it. CO2 fire extinguishers last maybe 15 seconds so it'd go too fast and what would you do, spray it into the display?

It makes sense. I never really considered it. I guess you would use the extinguisher that has only CO2, not other chemicals.

I remember people using fire extinguishers for CO2 years ago. I believe most fire stations will fill them for free, as well (public safety)
As long as the CO2 is fairly pure, it should work well. |
