        There is a Leslie's not too far from you: 3413 W. Holcombe. That is where I get mine from. You will not be able to get this from Home Depot or Lowes (exactly)

        Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
        Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

          Okay...got the tank set up....did not wash the sand which didn't cloud up the water too bad. Noting more than if you were to move some decorations around in it.

          Currently, I do have a dual bulb fixture on the tank w/ Ultraviolet Resources International lightbulbs...1 is an Actinic White and the other (which needed to be replaced) is an Aquasun 4. Web site:www.uvlco.com My actinic is a 12000, and the Aquasun looks to have been a 10000. So I'll take your suggest Jesper and find a replacement 10K. Any particular brand?
