T5 lighting

I need fans like that John, I put in almost a gallon a day from evap....
And the metal clips on my lights are starting to rust from no splash screen so the lights werent that hot after all....of course thats the only prob with them..I am looking to make some plastic clips......sorry to Jack your thread .... my bad...

 

I wish I lost a gallon a day. I get more like 3-4 gallons of evap per day.

 

Thanks this site is amazing

 

I it's alright I have one other question is I have a 48 gallon tank with 4 39 watt t5 fixtures and it's about 17 inches from water line to sAnd and about 3 to 5 inches from tops of live rock to water line what kinds of coral can I not get and what about anenomes I have to cycle my tank first but I am just asking in lighting sense

 

What type of fixture do you have?
If you have a 3' tank, what is the width of the tank? You will be able to, if you have good reflectors and lamps grow quite a bit in the tank... SPS easily, well light wise, if you have a good fixture. Now you need to worry about water flow and quality.
LPS shouldn't be a problem as long as you keep them at least halfway down the tank... Many LPS can be fried fairly easily, esp favids.

The thing about anemones is they will move until they find a spot that has the right light and flow... BUT with them being mobile they can cause SERIOUS issues in reef tanks, killing coral and so on.. I would think long and hard before getting an anemone.... Plus most are overharvested in the wild and should be left there to repopulate....

As far as evaporation, I get about 4 gals a day in winter and about 3 or so in summer... That equals one humid house!
