i need a 30 inch canopy for my 29. if you have one lemme know. if you can build one send me a pm of your price. i am not really a hands on person. it doens't have to be finished or stained or any of that stuff. cheapest materials prolly best i guess

hey man like i said, i am willing to help you with the canopy. what type of lights are you wanting to use? tony might help also. we are both good with making these things with cheap materials. lemme know what you are wanting to spend and ill see if i can come up with some ideas for you.

probably so i will start planning a canopy for you. is it a 175 or 250w?

i think it's a 2x 175 i doubt i would run both of them on a 29 though.

You think?? You are buying them Noob. They are 2 x 175w. You could run one pover the tak and the other over the refugium. That would make your Chaeto grow like mad. BTW, I sold your Ozonizer and will be shipping it out tomorrow or the next day.

frickin sweet. i'll prolly stop by your house and drop off the money for the lights. im leaving for orlando this afternoon. i knew what kind they were. i was just iunno........ahh well

I called your house today Arthur and left a message with someone. When are you thinking of stopping by?? Dude, if you are going to Orlando, do you plan to visit any fish stores?? If so, I need something I can't find around here. Maybe you copuld grab some while you are down there and if you visit an LFS?!?

If you see ARM (Calcium Reactor media sold by Carib-Sea) media for less than $25 per 8lb container, I am going to need two of them. I can get them online for about $47 shipped, but was hoping to find some nearby for cheaper.

Noobtank, I have a 14" high canopy on my 29 that I built myself to house 1 x 175 MH, 2 x NO Fluorescent (1 x 20K + 1 x 10K), 2 lunar lights, and 1 cooling fan. If Johnny doesn't already have plans for one, you could scope pics of mine to see if you want the same design. I built my canopy for less than 20 dollars of materials.
