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...

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

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

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?

My suction cups die really quickly and are a pain to replace. Is there a way to hang powerheads onto the tank with some kind of hook? I know a few come with clamps, but I want to be able to hang any powerhead I want.

Okay, how's this set up for a modest shroom tank? What I have: All-Glass Aquarium 7gal minibow 32w Power Compact hood w/ 50/50 bulb AquaClear 70 (300) as fuge (with AC mini impeller) Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Tap Water Purifier Tropic Marin salt Tronic 50w heater in fuge Not sure...
