I'm setting my mindframe on a lps dominant tank, with a few softies and maybe a sps or two. I'm also into lots of various inverts...and a few small fish. As soon as I get myself some good lighting on this tank, I'll start stocking my tank with corals...in about a month or so.

Looking good Smitty!

Update Smitty???

 

[Smitty]

Lol...I'm sorry guys. I'm waiting on my tax return so that I can get my lights. But I did get a nice cuc about 2 weeks ago. I picked up 2 turbo snails, 2 margarita snails, 3 nass snails, and 8 blue-legged crabs. Once I get my lights, I'm gonna start buying my corals, and that should be in the next 2 weeks or so.

I hear ya Smitty! That's the same reason my 90 is on hold. Waiting for Uncle Sam to give me some money back so I can get lights!

 

[Smitty]

The hardest part about the wait is doing a lot of research and still not sure which lighting to get. 30in lights are not easy to shop for, and I can't hang anything from the ceiling, seeing that I'm still not in my own home. So I'm gonna need you guys suggestions.

 

[AdeptMrSniffles]

Can you do L brackets from studs in the wall?

 

[Smitty]

Naww...I don't want to put no holes in my grandmothers walls or ceilings, so that's not really an option for me, which makes it harder to shop.

get a clip-on mh light

Yeah, I thought about one of those...the K2 brand. My lfs charges a fortune for those(299.99).

 

[rwynn]

Your lucky lol, apparently I owe 1k this year...apparently being a student, with a wife and kids doesn't offset enough.

 

[Smitty]

Dang, sorry to hear that Rwynn, that sucks.

Make a pvc light holder, like a pyramid shape and hang it from the top pipe.

 

[rwynn]

Meh, I'd take my promotion over a refund, think I need to fix my w-4 exemptions...goodluck finding a good light, been waiting on some updates from ya :)

[Smitty]

Three years ago, my exemptions were screwed up and I ended up owing $1,600. I fixed them for the next year so that extra was taken out of every paycheck. Since then, it's been smooth sailing, and I get to look forward to a little treat every spring!!
