I am looking into buying a new Nova Extremem 4x54w T5HO light set and currently have a 48" 2x65w power compact that I will no longer need. I will get pictures of it tonight when I get home and post them.
What I am looking for:
75gpd or better RODI unit ** PREFERENCE **
or a combination of:
Live Rock
A small light that could be used in my sump over my fuge. Would need to be pretty small, 16" or less.
Chaeto grass
Refractometer
PH Monitor or meter
TDS monitor or Meter
Let me know what you all think
Picture of the tank with the light on, water is a little cloudy cause i just got done re-aquascaping. After looking at this picture, I think i need to unsegregate my light colored rocks from my dark colored rocks…
Here is a picture of the light turned on.
Here is a better picture of it not turned on.
When I trim my cheato you can have some for free.
For the light over the sump, I would recommend going to Wal-Mart and picking up a 100W (equivlent) spiral Power Compact bulb. You are looking for one with a color temperature of about 5,000-6,500K. Then get one of the clip on heat lamps/reflectors for another 10$ and for 15$ you have a refuigium light that works great and doesn’t take up much room.
Oh cool, i wasnt aware that the fuge light could be so ‘cheap’. Thanks.
of course, if your fuge is a 4 foot tank, your PC light strip would be very good for a fuge light too. I have a pair of 24 inch 65 watt PC strip lights over one home made 24x18x16H fuge and a 3x39 watt T5 home made strip light over my home made 40 breeder size tank/fuge/whatever. they all work great.
You can never have a big enough fuge.
Yeah I thought about that, but with the configurartion of my sump in my stand, I have no way of actually getting the light into my stand and then with my skimmer and plumbing, it just wouldn’t work, unfortunately.
