WTB: 48" Light Fixture

I have a 220w PC with moon lights. It is just collecting dust and is located in QCA. $50 no shipping

 

If you're wanting to keep softies, PCs would be fine...for $50, it's a pretty cheap start. You can always trade/buy up later.

 

That is what I was thinking. I will even give you an extra blub. It is a self contained unit with 2 independant switches and cooling fans. I just got it from another fish deal and does not fit inside my canopy. I was just thinking about tearing it apart and use the pcs, but if someone else can use it it will be well worth the min cost. Just let me know or if anyone else is interested I will hold off a day to let Jay have first dibs. I also have a BakPak skimmer you might be interested in as well, or a in sump skimmer. Just bits and pcs taking up box space.

 

do you by any chance know how much to ship the pc's to des moines? if Jay is not going to get them i would want to look into getting them!

Thanks

 

As you are starting out, it is best to stay with a small budget, but I would invest in a good skimmer from the start. I learned (even after being in it for 9 years) that skimmers are a must. My last setup I was skimmerless for a couple months due to other problems and know I am dealing with algae and other crap that shouldn't have been allowed to grow with better water qualities. Lighting is not inthe top five things you should worry about when starting so go with the VHO's.

Cowdust, I am really not interested in shipping this thing. From the time involved to pack it up and haul it dow to the post office would pretty much double the price. If you have a ich to come towards the QCA, more than happy to get it to you.

 

Hey Jay, that's really cool. I try to get my kids involved too when it comes to picking out certain things. My daughter loves to feed them too.

BTW, would you happen to be related to Mark DeSotel that used to live in CR?

One other thing...here's a really brief pamphlet that I made up a while back that should give some very basic tips. I'm sure you already know all this, but here it is just in case http://www.greateriowareefsociety.org/Portals/0/activeforums_Attach/Start_a_reef_tank_brochure.pdf

Wow...small world. I purchased the house that I live in from him about 3 years ago. And I forget how, but he's also related to our neighbors, the Burrs.
