It's that time again to order 6 new T-5 bulbs. I currently am running 3 460nm actinic and 3 10,000K. I want to go back to the Giesemann Powerchrome series unless someone recommends a better brand :). Any suggestions on a 6 bulb configuration for a 48" Nova Extreme Pro fixture? Thanks guys.
i used to run a 36" nova extreme on my bowfront 46 Gallon and a 48" on my 90. They worked very well for my LPS. I waited to add in SPS until I upgraded to the Nova Extreme Pro. Plus my clam ended up dying in my 90 gallon when i had the nova extreme running. I suspect it was from not enough light.
Ive had my frogspawn for over two years now and untill the past couple of months everything was fine. A few heads are turning almost to white. all the other heads however have retained their original color. What could the cause be? The first pic is now and the second is before.
I meant the builkead itself, I heard somewhere that its not good to thread pipe to the outside of bulkheads. My LFS said to just glue a piece of pvc pipe, straight in. Another problem arose today while i was working on the plumping from the sump to the return pump. There was a small leak coming...
I like that idea, Thanks for the detailed response. Ill set that up tomorrow but i also was wondering what to do in the bulkhead area. I know not to thread anything onto it so should i glue a piece of straight PVC into the builkheads and then run the elbow a couple inches below that straight piece?
what do you think of the sheets that are used to make rubber gaskets? also i was just talking to my LFS guy and he said that i honestly dont even need a sheet of ply wood underneath. do they make rubber sheets in 3/4"?
I just finished building my new sump/ fuge and decided to run a blueline hd-x 40 externally. I have the bulkhead drilled to where the pump needs to sit on a piece of 1/2" ply wood with a 1/4" of some other material to absorb the vibrations on top of the ply wood. Any suggestions? i was looking...
I have it running on a predrilled but as long as you have the box filter hanging off the back of your tank it will be no problem to run flexible hose between the two connections. My buddy down the street does that with his non- drilled tank. But my sump should be ready in the next few weeks so I...
im currently building a new sump with a fuge (on my 90 gallon) and once thats finished Ill have an extra Proclear Aquatics sump if your interested in waiting a couple more weeks?
in most situation under 900 GPH 1" baffles will be fine. If you happen to have a few microbubbles get through you can always put a filter sock at the end of the drain line.
