A spoke and some wire and a water proof heat shrink the main problem is not many bike shops will sell just ba spoke from the wheels kit..I have used 316 s.s bolts and a heatshrink but the shrink has to be rated for under water use. _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) | |

Its more then likely the heater ? depending on the type or the lights .. You run power heads in the tank or on a skimmer you can unplug one thing at a time to find the major culprit . P/m with your mail info.. | |
