I like this idea a lot.
The plan:
14K MH (250W) with a 48" T5HO Actinic.
Run the actinic as sunrise/sunset, then fire up the MH for 9-10 hours.
On order:
Lumatek 400/250 e-ballasts. (Got the 400W ones so I can upgrade if necessary)
Lumatek Lamp Cords
Coralvue spider reflectors
14K 250w Hamilton MH Bulbs
1/4hp AquaLogic DeltaStar chiller
To order:
T5HO Actinic bulb 48"
T5HO Ballast
T5HO Fixture
Some sort of LED fixtures for night.
All run and controlled by the good old APEX! I normally run the tank with the current LEDs at 78F. The plan is to keep it 'round there but will set up the Apex to shut off the halides should the temp exceed 82F and set an alarm/email/text.
Anyone want a pair of AI Hydras with a director??? I know where you can get a good deal on a pair in a few weeks!
