220 up and running

[Jeff]

Thanks to everyone that helped get this thing going
I now have a 250 gallon total system on the second floor of an old house. The lighting system this time is a 72" 14 bulb Aquactinics Constellation. Only 6 of the bulbs were lit for these pictures.

Looks awesome! Are your lights all T5? What combination did you go with?

 

[Jeff]

All T5. My heater actually kicks on once in awile lol. So far I have a mix of UV lighting Super Blue and Aquasun and i like it so far. I still need 4 more bulbs...

 

[Sullyman]

Jeff, looks great, you got a lot done fast. Congrats on the new set up, good work.

tanks looks great, thinking of the same lighting system for my newly almost aquired 180. Where did you get it? I think there is only one or two places and I forget. Any issues with it so far?

No issues at all really. I just need a few more bulbs lol. 14 is a lot!
I bought it from Premium Aquatics and they had the factory ship it to my house. I like the fact that it has 3 switchs.

Bob, thanks for the kind words. Some of the rock in there came from you

how uch was it if you don't mind me asking? 6 months or so ago I saw it for a grand

 

[Jeff]

$684.00 + shipping + 14 bulbs. I splurged on the lighting.

[Jeff]

No problem Earl.

Joe, I couldnt resist the clowns. I have had my eye on them for a long time and saw a pair at Kmiec123's house and that made my decision for me. You dont see them that often.

Jeff

 

[Pufferpunk]

Wow, looks great! I see you got your tangs & naked clowns.

 

[mbunaman]

Yeah I picked up a pair for myself also. There are pretty cool.

 

[Jeff]

Jeni, I ended up going the day after I was at your house...

 

[Pufferpunk]

[Jeff]

Yes, I have never had a sick/dead fish from them...ever.

[NewSchool04]

Tank looks great! Those T5's are very nice, I'd love some more pics of the fixture.

 

[Jeff]

I can try and get some pics in the morning. Its basicaly 2 rows of 7 with 2 fans that blow upward out the top. It is almost silent and very sleek looking.
