It would work great over that tank. They also work fine over a glass top.

Sweet. I look forward to seeing it on the tank with plants below. I really like how thin the fixture is. I just wish they would've at least went with glass if they were married to that mount design....

Make sure to inspect it thoroughly... The fine print doesn't inspire much confidence.

2in10, thanks for the input. Now I feel like I'm copying you... I swapped the T2i for a T3i. I kind of missed the swivel screen I had on my ancient G3. I think it helped compose some odd ball shots....

The DoAqua tanks use the same glass that the original ADA tanks were made from; before they switched ADA to low iron glass. The DoAqua tanks are more clear than standard float glass used...

I see what you're going for with the drawing, but you don't have the space to get that feel. Once you crop it down to the actual tank size (and water depth) it's going to look more like this....

I never saw the draw of dirt personally.

I understand the inexpensive aspect, as aquarium specific gravel can be costly. But blasting or pool filter sand is very reasonably price and a joy to...

You'll be stuck adjusting them regularly to compensate for evaporation, especially with summer arriving.

Good deal on the tank, I was watching that setup sit for the longest time. My personal opinion is the rock is too big for the tank.

I find it funny that the lady is doing the heavy lifting while...

Figured I'd bump this thread as I finally made the upgrade instead of getting a replacement battery for the dinosaur camera. I got a great deal on a new Canon T2i w/ 18-55mm for $403.99

Unfortunately we can't definitively say either of those things as tanks are different. (scaping, flow patterns, etc) Just watch the fish. It's easy to see if they're being labored by too much flow or...

I'm not sure what you're wanting to hear exactly. All tanks are different so you can't just say "500gph is great for Geos."

That flow rate is more than enough.

For a tank that size many would go with the 1260. You wouldn't need to restrict the flow, and it'd be around 500gph. Are you planning to run anything in line...

Ouch. That's unfortunate. It really is hit or miss with the wild caught ones. Did you do a mail order on your own or go through your LFS?

Just crazy to click back to page 1 and see how naked this rainbow of wonderful once was.
Did you mention what bulbs you're using? I like the warmer look over this tank.

Not an accurate account, and uses a bad pump (efficiency-wise) for the comparison. A pump with over 17 feet of head is going to be a power hog. It's going to have more grunt (restrictions, 90 elbows,...

That's because ridiculous management kept changing and mangling the story and overall goals. That's why I left my position there.
