Thanks for all the info. I'm building a 54 corner reef and can't decide on the lights. A good t5 or MH? I like t5 because: 1.cheeper 2.less power 3. less heat. But like MH for its most natural bright look. Does anyone have any idea about the cost per month of running a 150 MH with (2) 65...
Is 150 watt MH good enough for a 22 deep tank with (2) 65 watt Actinics, or do i have to get 250 watts for med type corals. Also what would be the differents in cost in power for MH over an T5 each month be. Does T5 look anything like MH?
Thanks for the info. I'm trying to build a small basic sump! Do you know any sites that has plans or plans for sale with all the info I need to build a sump/fuge? I've read all the sump/fuge threads on here for the past 3 months.
Take a look at t5 tek 24 in. That should sit in the middle of the 54 tank. MH look great but put off to much heat and too much on the power bill, is what i've been reading on here.
If I make a sump out of a 15 gal tall tank (20x10x18) with 3 sec-left side skimmer SS65, middle sand & micro, and right side for return mag 7 what hight and space do I need for each baffle? Anyone? Thanks
I was thinking about getting C.L. SS 65, Mag 7 or 9 and LifeReef 700 Box. I'm starting a new tank (54 Corner) this week, all I have right now is the glass.
Thanks for all the help!
hey sign guy! If I make a sump like your pic here from a 15 gal tall (20x10x18) what would height of each baffle be and dist apart starting for left wall of tank. Thanks
I can get either for around $140.00. Very small space, 54 corner tank.... I think I would have about $ 70 in it if I made it. I think 140 is worth it if it is a good setup? How does the setup look?
