Hey whats up everybody. Im new here, but have been a reefer for about 8 years. I wanted this nanowave 9 for my office, and since it comes with almost everything you need to reef, i bought it.
I did a lot of researc and found that heat is a major flaw with this system do to the lack of air flow in the hood. Even though I bought a chiller, I dont want my light bill shooting through the roof, so I did a few mods. First I picked up my Rotozip and got to work on the vents, made them bigger. Next I separated the moonlight from the PC lights so I could install the Timer. Times is a great idea if you dont have a chiller and you want to kee the heat low. Having the heater only turn on at night along with the skimmer can really help reduce the heat. But since i did buy a chiller i plan on leaving the heater on all the time and only having the skimmer and moonlights activate at the night cycle.
I made a custome acylic overflow surface skimmer with 3/8 acrylick. I also plan on venting out the rear lid allow better air flow.
My nano wave is still not running do to all these mods im making and since i only picked up this unit 2 days ago.lol
I already picked out and paid for a show piece rock full different coral, very colorful.
Pics of all my progress will be up very soon. Thanks everybody
