30 gallon build

Wow, this stuff confuses me even more now lol. My t5 light is like 120watts. Does this have less par?

 

I love my panorama pro's. 3 over my 30g and i have been growing some sps lately that's looking great. if i spend some extra money i can do the thunderstorm effect, i'm just too poor at the moment!!!!

 

You have a 36" 30 gallon right? That sounds great! I'm going to have mostly sps, so I can't just be able to grow them on the top of the rocks. Will this work?

 

You could retrofit your t5 fixture with a few panoramas!!

 

Sheesh, I'm not sure.. I just checked out the panoramas, they look really nice but I don't think it's the right thing for me. Im looking for a fixture that can hang by itself in one piece. I don't have a canopy :/

I do like how I can just plug one in as I upgrade though. The initial cost is much lower that way.

 

You can remove the bulbs from your current fixture and screw them in.

 

Ooh!! Good idea! Lol I didn't even think about just gutting the fixture and putting leds in. I might add them one at a time or something. First I need the ati bulbs though.

Also, is it possible for me to replace the side of the overflow box that's in the tank with a black one? I don't k ow where I woul buy it but it's too big and I don't like how it's clear.

 

Haha you might need to get a new overflow. The eshopps nano is small!!!

 

I'm thinking a diy might be necessary. Can't change it now, too late. I would have to mess with the whole sump to do that. Anyone know where to find black acrylic??

 

Find someplace local that makes signs. I here they have scraps laying around sometimes for cheap.
