I have an AquaMedic Ocean Light 150W which needs new bulbs but I cant seem to find any. The bulb is an aqualine 10000 bulb, 150 watts with 13.000K. Anyone know any sites where I can get these? ( Reasonable prices! )

Are Guppies ever not pregnant? She looks pregnant.

I have a small 40L tank doing nothing at the moment. I'll be starting a marine tank project in the next month. Is there anything I can use the small tank for in the meantime? Curing LR maybe? Or setting up as a quarantine tank?
