I really want my lights to crank :) I will keep softies towards the bottom of the reef (and, I really want a T. Maxima clam - something I've just...
So, after reading several threads on the Odyssea units, I think I'm going to go with the 2x250 unit. Aquarium Lightings - Metal Halide Light...
Dude, that is one awesome fish. I saw one at the Tampa Aquarium and I thought it was very cool. Where did you get it, and is it reef safe?
That's a cool little tank you got going on. They still have them on sale for $80? All nano's around here are around $180 or so. Wouldn't mind...
Definitely a better deal to get the bulbs at a discount. However, it just irks me that you have to pay an additional $60 for legs (freaking plastic...
Awesome - thanks man. I may be able to run my Poly reactor off the same pump if I use a valve and slow the flow to the reactor and be able to get...
If I do 2" in, then 1.5" to 4x1" out, that would be ideal. Then I could have a master control + union, and 1x ball valve to each corner to control...
No ocean motions. I figure splitting the flow 4 ways will be about the same as 4 powerheads (which, is what I would use if I wasn't doing this, and...
Reeflo Dart, 3600 GPH. It is more flow than what is needed, but will use a ball valve to slow the flow down to about 2600GPH. It will be only used...
1.5" intake, 1" return maybe?
Kind of what I thought, but the pump has a 2" intake and 1.5" return - both of which need scaled down, but why would it have a larger intake than...
I'm getting all the plumbing supplies together for the closed loop on my 75g. Should I use 3/4" or 1" PVC / bulkheads for the returns? Should I...
That's a pretty good price - Are you sure it comes with UVL bulbs? It doesn't seem to mention brand anywhere. Not a fan of canopies at all. You...
Awesome - I was just reading through your lighting thread and was going to as you if you ever got the Tek fixture. If it's just framing I think I...
Eh. Crap, can't win. Thx for pointing that out. I'm at a loss then for lighting. Unless of course all bulbs are still positioned over the tank...
Yup, they're 48" - I'd probably suspend them. What bulb selection did you use?
I would highly recommend against tap water, I learned the hard way. Air water and ice has good selections of ro-di units, same with ebay if you're...
So instead of posting on someone else's thread I'm starting my own :P I'm all confused now whether to get 2x250 MH or to get a 8x54 Tek T5 fixture...
Is that your tank? It looks awesome! What bulb combination do you use?
I'm all confused over what to buy now. If I'm dropping over $500 on a lighting fixture I want to do this right. The dude I was talking to at the...
