  1. The new store is open at 12775-50st PH780 988-2872
  2. That is all i use get the matting from the large rool over the cutting table about 3 $ a meter.double it up.
  3. Can some one show me a link to a MMM type reflector please
  4. If on a fish tank some time from 3-6 months and then just the two long sponges on the inlet side and what is in the last section.Do not clean the white biomax.
  5. After thinking about it i have seen the wire at the breaker shrank making a poor conection.All so maybe they were not screwed in tight if all are like that you would lose a lot of power.
  6. As a last resort try removing all the media out and have the filter about 2 ft below the water line.
  7. There is a good hydroponics store on about 81 ave & 102 st check out the ferts if you go there
  8. why not try 27w CF 6500K at HD sku# 145000 12.98$ for 2 a better light for plants.
  9. The box is smaller than the fixture .Are you using the straight CF or the round ones.They have some problems with the round as they shorted out at the first bend.That was in THE EAST.
  10. You must use a box, weather proof boxes ? [connectors pipe covers ] and no connecting wires out side boxes or plugs.
  11. At 250 a sq ft. tank 6ftx2.5ft =15 sf x250 =3750 lb you should be ok.
  12. look in the DIY at the top for cycle
  13. First NEVER change a 15 AMP to anything higher .Find the breaker for the garage and see what all is on it even in the house.If you run a heater and tanks-lights - filters you should put in a new line.
  14. I think on one board the fittings for the sump do not match the ones here .You should ask if they have parts.
  15. Iwill take them befor you do that

    Use of GFCI

    Make sure you buy one made after 2003 they are smarter.If there on sale for a lot less they could be older ones.
  17. Try buysell.com there is glass for 100.00
  18. There is two small # on the bottom.
  19. I agree...likely your problem, and if this sort of cleaning is not done ever 4 weeks or so, chances are the filter will not self-start if you have a power-cut (even a 3 second one). You can usually feel the motor is hot when it is stuck. If it was cold and not working, you can garauntee a short or seized. Buy a small tooth brush for cleaning works good for the impeller well to.
  20. flow rates chart for fluval. http://www.hagen.com/usa/aquatic/manuals/fluve08.cfm
  21. Up to last year in Edmonton we had a place called the Fish Pond all there tanks had the back 4-6 in divided with glass and the top 3in was 1/2 in plastic from lights.No filter just large rockes on the bottoom up to smaller ones on top. O maintence for 20 yrs that i know.Ask Jay.
