    looks good but the compay that sells those powerheads on ebay also sell the magnetic ones for a few bucks more and i think it work the extra few buck jmo.

    Yea those are fine. They are Korlia knock offs, but from what I've heard are pretty decent. I would also get the ones with magnetic backs, much easier to deal with and won't fall off. Also, they are not wavemakers, they are powerheads. They just move water around which is good. Wavemakers are controlable and able to actually make a "wave" in the tank. An example of that is an MP40.

    It said "Magnetic drive technology".

    You sure those aren't as well?

    Also, is this a trusted brand? I don't want to buy a crappy set of these, and get poor flow, or have it break in a month.

    Thanks

    2 x Wave Maker Powerhead pump 800GPH Magnetic Fixation - eBay (item 370257106653 end time Apr-05-10 14:33:15 PDT)

    Those will probably do.

    I haven't put the legs on my light because I got shorted two mounting screws. I'm either going to build my own brackets, or go get a couple replacement screws. I'm not sure if I trust those little screws and the plastic to hold up my fixture safely anyways.

    I was wondering, is there any way to remove that panel and replace it with something light will transmit through? Has anyone hacked their tank so could remove that thing and keep the stability? I'm guessing you might need titanium to do it.
