Rob,
How about a 'Tips and Tricks' segment where members can submit anything they have come across that may be of interest to the rest of the audience.
As a simple example, I'm building a new pendant for the 7ft tank and needed both muffin fans and blue LED lighting.
Each of these purchased separately would cost me a fair bit, but computer stores sell 112mm case cooling fans with 8 blue LEDs already in them for A$15 a piece - perfect for what I need and half the price.
My HQI lighting cost me A$28 each for the fittings and A$60 per 20K bulb after looking on eBay. The 150W fittings and ballasts were ex-shop fittings that were pulled out and sold as salvage - I saved at least $500-600.
Scott.
