Hi Dave

Thanks for your reply to my post regarding my new tank set up. I was
just wondering if you could elaborate a little more on the following:-

1. Whats a pressurized CO2 and where can I find one of those?


Pressurized CO2 uses a tank of CO2 that was designed for soda fountains,
welding, or other purposes, and injects that CO2 into the tank through a
regulator and needle valve. You can find information he

2. With the lighting, I got the cover with two tubes and the reflector
strip. If this is insufficient, can the top still be retrofitted or
will 2 double tubes not fit in there?


Sorry, I can't tell you that. You will have to measure everything and see.
I bought my kits from http://www.ahsupply.com

In regards to your set up, how do you not have a cover? Do you have
suspended lights that hang over your tank?


I do not use a glass or plastic cover over my tank. I have a hood, which
contains my lights, which sits on top of the tank frame. It covers about
half the surface area of the tank. The rest is open for feeding, filter
tubes, etc.
