[JHOV2324]

Yeah thats about 10lbs of Live rock in the sump.....I dont know if that bulb will be good for the fuge to grow cheato...but it is an energy saving bulb

Serious note:

J, I've tried those bulbs over my fuge with no luck at all. I think the floodlight halogen bulbs work the best for growing chaeto.

Home Depot sells 6700K Compact fluorescent strips (18 or 24 watts I think) that will fit in a fixture like this one: Ebay

Run the light 16 hours on and 8 hours off. The growth of macro is great under this light. The bulbs run about $8 each

HOOVER i dont think that heater will be big enough for that tank, looks like the one i have for my nano. i use the same type of bulb but in a daylight spec with one of the reflectors from homedepot been using it for a yr and have good growth, have to make sure color temp is good though, hd also sells a plant growth bulb, tunze good or too much ?

 

[JHOV2324]

tunze is good...ima go with the home depot light DOm recommended cause i used to use the flood lamps before and i have no idea what happened to the reflector....mayb the tank gremlin took it....

 

[JHOV2324]

Soooo.... I started to aquascape last night and so far i came up with this....I have about 4 more pieces to add to the scaping.....I think ima switch up the left side just a little bit....Tell me what ya think or if i shud add more rock?

 

[latino277]

[noelskii]

cool! i think this is the first 40 breeder i've seen with rock work like that. most of the ones i saw only have 1 big 'island' of rocks...like mine...

 

[georgelc86]

Looking good Hov!

 

[Chris Jury]

Coming along nicely. Also, very nice aquascaping

 

[jhale]

You like that rockwork Jhale LOL i just put them in like that for now....

I know I was joking.......but I really like the way you have the 2 islands set up now, for me less is more when it comes to rocks, you need to leave space for the coral to grow. So don't add any more rock.

I agree with J. I like how you have the rock set up in 2 islands (like me ) It makes a small tank look a lot larger. The only thing I would say is that it looks a little shaky from the pictures (like easy to topple) other than that it looks great.

 

[CancerverO]

looking good man. ..
you can even make 3 islands like mine..
just make sure they are estable.. :splitspin

 

[inkblue]

[noelskii]
