So you were the lucky one...  shocking.gif I was after that deal also... blush.gif

I don't think the stands are sold separately though, but you can try asking the LFS boss to order it for you, or contact advance reef directly which is the distributer for dymax whether you can get the spare part.

Err... You want to change the lightbulb only or the whole set??? Cause you cannot simply change the lightbulb to higher watts I think, you need to check whether the balast can support it or not...


Added on January 28, 2011, 9:54 pm

IME it might be because of the light spectrum of the lightbulb, 6000K lights will look a bit less bright and yellowish, while 6500K will look very bright and whitish in color. I compared my T8 lights before, (RM3.50) 6000K with (RM9.90) 6500K and have since bought (RM9.90) 6500K since, I also change the default 55w PLL that comes with the 2ft aquazonic lighting with 6500K 55w PLL I bought from lighting shop for the same reason with the T8. Just my honest opinion... blush.gif

11w not enough to carpet glosso la... sweat.gif I still got my old 11w lighting, you want??? I'll sell it cheap, very cheap... brows.gif


Added on January 28, 2011, 10:26 pmJust to add... I have 2unit 9cm computer fan on 24hr and I lose 1.8 liter of water a day... grumble.gif  grumble.gif

Haha I using T5 + PLL ( all 6500K ). Might post up picture soon. Cause i compared to my friend single PLL light also brighter then mine.

If you have the man power to manage the heavy lifting of your tank with all the hardscape and flora inside you can try keeping the scape and moving the whole tank... blush.gif  Then you'll be more expert then me... tongue.gif

Others have experience moving whole aquascape, especially for competitions like what they did during aquafair last year. But I don't know how they did it... shocking.gif
*
Yeah.I think have to take out all the scape.Too bad.Cause i have to shift in 3 months time.
Thank you so much smile.gif



BTW if I wanna change the plant type but it's already grown so can i just cut the plant left the root inside the soil and plant with new plant?

You won't be the first one to do that cause I read it before somewhere, but IMHO you will need to consider the nitrate build up from the roting roots and whether your tank can handle it or not, especially if you've got sensitive species in your tank such as CRS.

And make sure you cut deep enough or the plant will just regrow from whats left of itself... tongue.gif

Then meant i no need to put fert? haha shld be not bad.Cause i found out few kind of plant isnt nice.
