Well! Found myself a light strip for the 55g!!!

It's not the best fit...since I can't open the lid of the tank without moving it...

...but it's not hard to move and will do for now...

It's a 48" strip with two flourescent tubes in it...a couple of years old, but never used from what I can tell...

...$20...

They cost $80 new.

The versa-hoods are great for light strips. The back glass panel is a bit wider than the front panel making more room for lights.

Really? Good to know! I'll keep my eyes open! But it has to be a good deal! Thanks!

Lights are really expensive. Thankfully my dad has plenty of them that he wouldnt miss.

Cool! Isnt it amazing how we all find great deals?


Like just yesterday, i was going to sell someone a 22 gallon with an extra 18" lightstrip. Then i was going to buy 2 24" lightstrip with 18" bulbs from someone else...or so i thought. It turns out, both deals were with the same person. Neither of us knew untill i realized they were both named julie. So instead, we are just going to trade!


Funny how things work like that huh?

I'm with algenco. No deals. Nothing fancy at the LFS. Oh, no wait, that's not true. Last week they got in some bubble-eye goldfish. Great, just what I need. A mutant freakshow of a fish.
