Great Job

Great looking work so far. It takes time to do things right, but the long term payoff is great. Best of luck with your build.

Thanks guys. Thinking this is the way I am going lighting wise Hard core "Old School".. The picture shows DE bulbs but I have a shot at 2 SE complete setups 250W w dimmable ballasts

TRADER lmao

 

[strgazr27]

LMAO.....Yes and No. I'd be a MORON to turn down the deal I am getting on these. And the growth and shimmer I'm going to have is hard to resist. LIPA is gonna love my meter readings....

thats only for the lights add the chiller in and your over that whos side are you on anyway

 

[strgazr27]

The reflectors I'm getting work best at bulb height of 16" AWL. Their only 250 watts so heat won't be as big an issue as you guys are thinking as I am only running 2. With the sump in the unfinished part of my basement at a pretty constant 62-65 degrees I should be OK. (I hope Lol)

 

[garys reef]

just messin with you u cant pass up the deal

 

[mbg75]

Those reflectors are sick.

Now the choice becomes 12-14 or 20K bulbs. Leaning towards 12K. Looks like it's going to be the 2 MH's w a 48" Blue Reefbrite.. Ordered a set of 6 POD moonlights for the RKE.

Bobby, NICE work on the tank!
I love those MH Pendants. If I were going MH, those are the exact ones I'd use.

Oh.. I HAVE to ask.... what skimmer are you going with?

 

[strgazr27]

Thanks Eric! This guy hooked me up with this I-Tech that is crazy! Only way anybody gets it is if they pull it from my cold dying hands lol.

:lol2: I wish there was a 200 model available as well

I'm looking at return pumps for this tank and have a few questions. It looks like I'm looking at about a 35-40" head height with a 8-10' horizontal run from where the sump will be to where the tank is. I currently have a Triton 5 but wonder if this would be enough pump for the setup? I am also looking at an Eheim 1262 or possibly going external w the pump. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!
