brapbrapboom · 07-30-2010, 10:59 PM

Just bought a light fixture today!

Went to Lucky's and was gonna get Lifetech light fixture, but instead got JEBO. They're pretty much the same but yeah just the name that was changed lol.. I just dont feel JEBO.. But anyway... Here it is!

Tank is brighter now (sorry I just did a water change).

First pic is with the lamp.

Second and third pic are with the light fixture.

hey looks great! is that a new red sea filter also? looks cool....

brapbrapboom · 07-31-2010, 11:23 PM

Yes it is, after seeing the water current of the Marineland Penguin 100 filter, its just too much. I saw Igor was also using Red sea deco art and its current was not too much so I decided to also get one.

Sadly, my thermometer is not working so Im really not sure on whats the current temp on the tank xD

ya the filter looks kinda like a minature Aquaclear... does it work pretty much the same? sponge/biomedia inside?
the black substrate looks nice too, I really wanted to change mine to that but its such a huge job to do that when ur tank is already planted and filled with shrimps lol
the shrimpies will like the moss ball, you can take it and squeeze it out every few weeks/month in a bowl with tank water, youll be amazed how much stuff comes out of it... then when u put it back in after giving it a final squeeze out it will float for a few hours and the shrimp hang from it like a circus lol

brapbrapboom · 07-31-2010, 11:37 PM

Actually the red sea filter only comes with a filter floss and a carbon filter pad? Ive just put a biomax thingy at the filter, same as Igor!

As for the moss balls, yes I do love em

Ive ordered 5 small ones at ebay the other day lol.

For the gravel, I think black is good since the color of the shrimps would stand out

How many watts does your light have?

brapbrapboom · 08-10-2010, 09:52 AM
