My floors are uneven. What's the best way to level the tank? Put shims under the stand? Put styrofoam under the tank? Both? Neither? Does it matter on a tank as small as mine? (7 gallons)

Ok guys, I finally broke down and bought a RO unit from Aquatic Reef Systems. (For less than my bugeted $150, yay!) It's due here on Thursday. I'm going to use a faucet adaptor and hook it up to a sink. The Hannah TDS meter reads 46 for my water... since I have a 7g nano and don't plan on using...

:shock: We have two breaker boxes in the basement and a fusebox on the first floor. I think I need to get a real electrician to look at this, our house wiring is crazy. :cry:

My dad says the house is 40-50 years old. He won't let me open the outlet to look at the wiring, however. We live in New York City, so would that mean we have a good chance of being grounded?

What's the average going costs of an electrician doing grounding work?

How hard is it to convert a non-grounded outlet into a grounded outlet?

Can we see the inside?

I plan to have a Tronic 50w in the AC300, with the plastic heater guard. It fits at an angle; I'm going to keep it between the pump and the baffle. I also plan to have one of those mini 7w clamp-on lights over the fuge. I'm going to keep the lit one lighted 24/7. Is there a viable way to...

I just realized that with an AC300 and an ACMini w/IceProbe on my tank, I can have two fuges, one lit and the other dark. Does anyone else have something like this? How well would the Mini fuge work with the IceProbe bringing down the temp? I'll have the heater in the lit fuge, too; will that...

Can the water that's been filtered out of a RO unit be used for freshwater tanks? Or are the impurities so concentrated that it would kill the FW fish? How about mixing the excess water with tap water? Or how about using the excess water on hardwater species, like African Rift Lake cichlids?

Damn, those are good pics! I just ordered a Nikon CoolPix 4200 and all the extra junk today. After that, I need to set up the tank!

Okay, thanks. I was just wondering.

I saw some pics where two were literally tied into the canopy with cable ties. LOL it looked good on the outside and the tank was nice and bright. I think they also managed to put a PC fan in there.

...will a AC300 fuge + ACMini w'chiller add to the tank? In general?

Where would I get acrylic brackets? Make them myself?

What if I crammed another 32 in there?

Which is better? Hellolights 50/50 or Current's SmartPaq?

I've read on the Hellolights website that it's the ballast that determines how bright the light from the bulb is. So... can I hook up a 96w ballast to a, say, 32w bulb for more light in a smaller space? Or will I just end up with glass shards all over and an electrical fire in my house?

Is the 32w retrofit on a minibow 7 considered low, medium, or high intensity?

Thanks!!!
