Bloke's 210g

yeah I def like the way the leds look rather than the traditional t5's or halides I won the Orphek contest with the pr-25's and they look amazing over my tank heres a pic, the lights are to high because Im awaiting a new stand, then I will be able to change my whole tank around! ;D

 

NICE! Where did you get your track lighting and fixtures? How long is the fixture/light from the top of the track lighting to the bottom of the bulb?

 

I cashed is a bunch of coins at coinstar and got a lowes gift card so I bought it all there $10 for the track $10 for each track pend and $10 for power it was very cost effective $60 for it all and the light from top track to bottom bulb is pretty close to a foot Ill get a ruler when I get back from vaca

 

I finally got the system completely plumbed. I ran a "T" into an existing 2" drain line to easily dispose of waste water when changing out tank water. I simply open the valve and pump the desired amount of water into the drain.


With everything plumbed and tank parameters stable, it's time to start the cycle!

 

wow looking good so far. Love the light slection.

 

Well, I haven't installed any lighting yet. The light you see over the tank is just a 60w bulb hanging in the fish room.

I am, however, positive that I am going with PAR38 LED's though. The bulbs put out less heat, less power consumption, last almost 15yrs, less nuisance algae, and give me a different look instead of a lit box of water.

I'm excited to see this thing in a few months.

 

Nice plumbing bloke. I like the drain idea. Nice.

 

Looks good.
I like your idea with the par38s. I just put 4 on my 65g and have one more to add. The look is very different from traditional but I love it.

 

Thanks! I looked over your thread and noticed your FTS. What is the difference between post #128 and #129? It's kind of wierd - the clowns look different; in one it looks like a B/W Ocellaris and in the other it looks like a True Percula, while the Sailfin is in the exact same position!! Either way, I like the FTS in #128; it looks a little darker than #129 (including the substrate), which IMO, is a little brighter than I want.

Also, how far are the bulbs from the water surface?

On a different note, Verlander is a beast, but what are #DET's chances against the powerhouses of the AL East? #DET has a losing record against the AL East and Aaron Boone (BBTN) was suggesting that they (#DET) were the team to beat in the AL. ...Sorry, YANKEES fan here.

 

The first pic is how it really looks. The second pic the exposure made it look like the sun for some reason lol
I have a b&w and a Picasso clown so it was prob just the other clown or something. Sailfin was munching on his algae sheet. That's his feeding corner lol. Right now I have them about a foot off the water but I have adjustable hangers so I can raise them if its bleaching stuff.

Ohhhhh boy a yankees fan lol just wait and see my friend. Haha my teams gunna lock it down!!!
