If you are looking for a hang on unit the gamma 25 watt comes with all the fittings you need.For a 29 gallon the 8 watt would do.I am going to mount mine to the wall with a fire extinguisher bracket fits fine like to be different.

ask a question get a question I think I have been hijacked

My uv sterilizer came today going to install in-line on friday.I was wondering if I should run24-7 or just run during the day.If I run during just daytime would the bulb last longer or would firing up the bulb every day shorten the life.And also not having the water going in the unit maybe the...

I would do my lights first that way what you add later won"t have to go through the change in lighting.

after doing some reading and some comparison I think the currant gamma25 watt should be my choice.I will be hooking it up inline.Thanks for the response.I just got tired of cleaning glass maybe this will help with that.

I have been thinking of adding a uv sterilizer.I would like to know what brand other members have experience with. This will be going on my 90 reef.Also should I go one size more than what is called for.

I have a coral life 125 and it took about three or four days.The pump should be just touching the collection basket.Make sure to have a hose on the vent and hang back into tank. If water comes out vent it makes a real mess.The height of pump and hose back into basket is very important.I played...

It depends on how much light you have.Mine is high on my rock it will anchor it self in a short time.I have 250 x 2 metal halides and it seems to be doing just fine.

I finally received my new bulbs from aqua medic and seem to be working just fine.I still don"t understand why if they know the bulbs are bad why they are still being sold with a new light fixture.The bulbs are wrapped and shipped separate. The bulbs should sent back to aqua medic and the...

I called Acua medic and they told me that they had a problem with the old bulbs.The older style bulbs say aqua medic on them and the new ones do not.So they are sending me new bulbs I was told not to run the old bulbs becuase they wear on the ballast over time.So I wanted to let everyone know if...

The light is aqua medic ocean light. Idid not want to sound stupid but at first I thought bulbs were loose.

I bought a aqua medic 250x2 metal halide and 2x54 t 5s. The t 5s come on then one goes out for a while then that one goes out and the other comes on.then after a short time they both come back on. I never owned a light like this before because this is new to me. I took the bulbs out twice and...
