FEEDBACK NEEDED on Build IDEA

you nailed it, thats the idea. However I wont be drilling, not that comfortable drilling glass yet. although i have a couple of trash 10g's that I may practice on so we will see

 

What if he keeps them higher up??? he should be ok...?

 

20k = temp

 

Nice!!! I went with 14k on my Ushios. I like them alot, but wish they were a little more blue.

 

Let me put it this way, i'm running 470W total over my 90 and can't put some stuff to high up and its 10" deeper than that 40 breeder.
The fixture he linked to should be perfect for that setup.

 

parts list is as follows :

AGA 40b
2 x 150W MHL with 2 x 2bulbs 3Ft Fixture
MP20

Reef Octopus NWB 150 Needle Wheel Protein Skimmer - AquaCave not from aquacave though
quiet one 4000 return
AGA 20H for refug/sump
250w stealth
CPR CS120 HOB overflow 1200gph (if i do not drill)
......more to come

 

Woops...went back to his link...I thought it said 2/250 not 150...I am running 1200w and am keeping things pretty high up with no problems. But I think you are correct. 150x2 will do just fine..I always like to overdrive!!! hehehe!

 

is there a reason your going with the aga 20H instead of a 20L?

 

already had it, but nothing is offical on that yet

 

I think a 20h sump would waste a lot of upward space with not very much footprint.
I would go with a 20l for a sump/refugium
