Ok, someone's got to do it. How much are those things? I might have to make a trip to the LFS tomorrow.
This would be sweet over it. http://www.3reef.com/forums/reef-lighting/kamihata-fanneruakki-70w-hid-lamp-lights-up-75849.html Bet it would fit...
With that outcome I would say it would be well worth the work.
Halogen doesn't work for coral. I've been looking at these too. I was thinking maybe Led's inside the top and gutting out the rear filter section to...
Ok Ill run down a short list of what you will need to get the cycle going first: Two power heads 800-100gph Stand Hob overflow if tank isn't drilled...
What type of coral are you planning on keeping.
Are you planning on doing a reef tank, fish only tank or FOWLR?
Glad to hear. Post some pics for us too.
I'm not too good at the drawings but this should work.
If you divide the end glass pane into thirds horizontal and vertically you will want the power head on the top back intersection of the lines. Then...
I would guess you're getting about 500gph or a little less from your return than. That would make your turnover rate about 19.5x turnover.
It shouldn't, you want the flow to converge half way between the top and bottom of the center glass. This will give you more chaotic flow instead of...
About 17x without return. That also puts you in the range that softies will do well in. I have kept softies in everything from 10x to 75x though so I...
When I first started this hobby I had the same problem. Over time it seems that my skin has built up a resistance to it. I could spend all day with...
That would give you a 32x turnover rate not including a return pump if you have one. that is a little on the high side for softies, but I've always...
This particular one isn't real as I saw one with Bush instead of Obama in it a few years ago. I do hope at some point this really happened though.
How often do you top off? Like shrimp stars are very sensitive to salinity changes, so the more often you top off the more stable it will stay.
Depends more on what type of corals you are planning on keeping.
I would go with T5 lighting for soft corals. the wet dry filter would also be a good addition for softies.
Looks like acid drop palythoas or star dust palythoas to me.
