150g iwagumi tank thread

No tank yet but have the plans and equipment laid out. I keep lurking here to stay aquatinted with the hobby but have too much going on right now to get started. I think I'll be building a 180 acrylic custom to fit an in-wall application.

Hey Mangodude, was just curious how those led panels were working out for you. I was really impressed about the price : performance. Had a few questions if possible to help me plan my reef conversion.

How deep are you able to keep the sps and how high are the lights hanging above the tank?
Do you have any glass between the top of the water and the lights or is it open?
Do you think they would support a clam, and if so what depth?

Thanks!

Mangodude · May 1, 2012

Hey Whedbee, sps are doing good at 4 inches off the sand, lights are 4-5 inches off the water.. soo 2 ft?

its all open. I do have a middle section that has a 1/2" glass brace covering it (bout a foot wide?) and notice very little reduction in light penetration.

Clam would probably be fine in a 21" tank. i've never kept a clam so I can't say.. if you have a par meter you're welcome to come over and check the level if you want

Mangodude · Jun 15, 2012

Hey Jcoll, its a canon t1i (DSLR) with a 17-85 usm lens. White balance is set to 7000k. Could be a lil whiter but I aint complaining!

Do you use a wet/dry for biological filtration? Doesn't seem like there's enough rock for that.
