Hey Doug,
Check out Ikea for a lamp. There are tons of them there. Same setup as the azoo I think.

Well we were wandering around there on sunday and they had quite a few lights that looked remarkably similar. Besides, I'm always looking at fish tank applications for normal household items

I've been using my office lamp (Ikea 13w) for tanks...... So what if I can't see what I'm doing....

The 9w and 13w replacement bulbs are at Revy here for a few bucks.

That is another thing all together, Revy, Home Depot etc don't carry anything over 4100k for replacement bulbs, I guess for a refugium it doesn't matter, but I would still like a daylight replacement to be available.

When I was ordering for my Coralife mini-lite, I always got them directly from Hello Lights http://www.hellolights.com/9watt.html, AquariumPros is the distributor now, but I haven't reordered recently. I do remember ordering a blue one...which would be kind of nice over my little azoo.....

oops...Barry's azoo.... ops:

Well, it appears the 4" heater won't work. It has no temp control....says NOT to use for less than 2g.

Unless you want to keep those Banff snails maybe...... :shock:

Barry lasted three whole days with the thing anyway. First 36 hrs lights on, second 36 hrs lights off, no topoff, no water change, no nothing (just me biting my tongue). Then I exploded.....

So it's mine...

Well, nuts. I ordered one of those too. Another $25 into the crap pile. Maybe we can install a dimmer switch on it or something ($25 heater with a $50 dimmer switch? ). How hot does the water get in it anyway??

Way to score Deb! :P

What about Tronic 50W heaters?

They are only 7" long, so they should fit inside the little Azoo setups?

Temperature control, excellent accuracy and quality product.
