That would work, just be careful and remember that there is mercury vapor in the lamp. I too was thinking about that, but I went the way I did so that I can fit 4 or 5 of these in a compact box. Jesse

The 42 watt screw-in will work on 40 watt PC's... Current USA makes a lamp that is called a Smartpaq, 40 watts. Its my personal favorite PC lamp.

Thanks skip... That is the one thing I was missing. Neither HD or Lowes had anything that really caught my eye. Im gonna check out radio shack today! Jesse

Agreed, more natural and not so "sterile". That macro is pretty safe too. Jesse

So I am working on a little project right now involving a 12g nanocube. I will be running 3 or 4 24 watt PCs in the cube and was looking into ballast options. I stumbled onto a couple articles on another site that discussed using the ballasts out of the screw-in compact fluorescent lamps like...

Hmmm... Ive never shipped to canada before.... do you think it will be practical price-wise? Also, it might take more than 3 days to get there which wouldnt be good for it. Ill look into it though, Jesse

You can attach larger images if you host the images on a free site such as photobucket.com and then link the [img] address. HTH, Jesse

Alot of peppies will indeed eat them, some wont. You can also use Joe's Juice if you dont have a large infestation. HTH, Jesse

Sounds like you found the fix.... glad they were helpful. Jesse

I can send you some.... you pay for shipping (usually about $6) Jesse

Cool pics... blue LED moonlights make things glow like CRAZY!! Jesse

Is there a thermal shut-off built into the ballast?? Maybe the ballast is getting too hot and is kicking itself off?? I cant say I have ever heard of that berfore but maybe this ballast is different. Jesse

They are crap. Check out the Sapphire Aquatics nanocube skimmer if it is for a JBJ nanocube. They also have them for the biocubes and other all-in-ones out there. They fit in the rear chambers and allow to still close the lid. I havent heard anything bad about them yet. Jesse

Hope everyone is celebrating safely and having a great time... HAPPPY NEW YEAR NANOTANKERS!! Jesse

I see them now... good looking system. Good work Jesse

Gotta be logged in to see the pics :( Jesse

That link is a sticky in the Identification forum... its a good one! Jesse

I would get the deluxe... the original only has one 24 watt PC and that isnt enough for hardly anything to do well. go with the deluxe with the dual 24 watters and you can get some mushrooms, zoanthids, green star polyps, etc. HTH and :welcome to nanotank.com! Jesse

LOooks good. One thing though... bring the return pump for the closed loop up nearer to the tank. It will take a load off of the pump and get you more flow. Alot of people build a little platform or something for the pump to rest on right at the top of stand in the back. Keep us updated...
