Can someone explain to me what the nipple really is! Is it the inner envalope of the bulb?

br1200 There should be a hase on the surface of the metal that is from the manufacuring process, and is easly removed. Get some course car polishing compound and a sander. If you can't get a polishing disc, use a thick rag and wrap it around the sander pad surface, that should do the trick...

I took some pics of the prop tank today, and wanted you to see how far I was behind on cutting my creeping gargonion sp? Also I have had this clam for a while and had never had it identified, Can you guy's help me? And Finally here is a picture of the dual 250watt mh system with...

br1200 That's great. But I'm sure you need to polish them yourself right? I recommend using an orbital sander with polishing pad and compound.Take a look at the other thread concerning reflectors and you will see the reflector that I made. they turned out great and are much more sturdy than...

Here's mine. 1/16 polished stainless steel bent 30 degrees on each side. I use these on the systems I make.

Kelly Here's some pictures of the system that I made for my 33 gal. This system is 175 watt retro that is 37" long and has a variabe speed fan for your canopy. Your more that likely going to have to make a canopy or get someone to make it for you.It should be at least 6" off the water...

I would suggest breaking down the rock work, making it as low in the tank as possible. Then drain as much water as you can into some large containers(cooler..ect). This way you would only have about 1/3 the water volume in the tank making it easier to lift. Make the new stand the same hight as...
