i got some xenia stalks from my buddies tank...got 4 pieces all together and placed them throughout the tank on different pieces of LR, woke up this morning, and i can only spot one of them? would it have moved around, or maybe the current swept it away or something and its now under some piece...

i just was wondering today, if i bought a current usa light 30", when those bulbs burn out or need to be replaced, can i replace them with a higher watt bulb or something than what came with it? i guess im wondering if the wattage can be increased by just buying a different bulb and putting it...

ok, so i have almost all the parts ready for making this happen, i think... as for the overflow, what all do i need to get the water out of the main tank and into the sump, just a pvc pipe that leads down to the sump? Or could i get one of those "overflow" things that are already made, and how...
