I would be interested in the herliquin shrimp but don't you need two so they can flip the starfish over? Any way if they don't have to be in pairs I would gladdly take the shrimp off your hands. I have a 24" high output T5 dual fluolescent lighting fixture that I could trade if you'd like. LMK.

How is that AC70 working out? That thing is huge. I have seen many picos with it so I went to get one the other day. I was shocked at how big it is. Have you turned the flow all the way down or what? Seems like a ton of flow for this small tank.

 

[ace1204]

I actually just sold this whole settup lol im bad about that, but i removed the propeller and shortened every other blade by have then cut the flow on low, some people run it with stock propeller at full blast!!!! how in the world im not sure lol you could also use the prop from a AC20 that will cut the flow down.

Hey Ace, I see you got the dual Satellite, I was thinking about getting that for my Pico, I have had it running for about almost a month now. I just got a AC70 to turn into a fuge. Any help with that? or suggestions? But back to the light, I was also checking out nanocustoms.com into the LED lighting and getting the 5.1 Nanocustom LED light. I am leaning towards the Nano Custom light but I haven't seen any post on ARC or Nanoreef or reefcentral about the product. Oh well any tips?

 

[ace1204]

I sold this settup actually but the fuge is simple to make there is a DIY link on nano-reef and RC or you could just google it, i have made a few of them, as far as the light im not sure ive never seen those products in action, i have looked at the one on nano-reef but i dont like the look of the dual satellite shell with LED's, if i go leds i want it to look slick for that amount of money. pm me if you have any other questions and ill help where i can
