Hi -
new on this thread as well and I apologize but I don't know how to search within a thread.

My question: will a Deltec MCE300 fit on the back of a 28 HQI and not get in the way of opening the hood?

Thanks and sorry if this has been asked before in this thread.

Regards.
David
 
Hood legs

Hood legs

Hello everybody, it has been a while so I hope somebody can help me with this issue.......

My tank is getting too hot but I am in CT and our summers only last for maybe another month......so I dont want to spend on a chiller.......I heard that some people buy legs to pick up the hood couple of inches.....does anybody know where to get legs that will fit this aquarium?......if you do can you post the link?.......right now I have the hood on small wood blocks but I rather buy the legs..........thanks again guys.

breeze, there are 3 links to this thread.....do you happen to know if it was the very old one or the latest one that was closed?
 
Not sure, but probably the first. I cant believe I have been following this thread since it was only like 5 pages
 
WOW Breeze thanks a lot!...it would haven taken me forever to find it....what do you guys think about raising the hood that much? the legs he is using bring the hood 3 inches above the rim, so I guess a total of 4" or so above the surface of the water....

I use a 20K Radium......with about 4" of sandbed....I have some SPSs maybe 4 inches above the sand....will the light being this high hurt the lower placed SPSs I have...they are small......thanks for the input.....

Thanks again breeze
 
I don't think it will make much difference in your light. I personally don't like the look of an open top which is why I went with a nanocube. I opted for a chiller instead. Your SPS should be fine.
 
I dont like the open top either, specially because I have cats and dogs (hair all over the place)...but here in CT summer last for 4 more weeks, so I dont want to spend in a chiller for only 3 months of the year...

The only problem I see with the legs is that I would need to drill holes on the clear plastic of the hood, first I dont want to crack it and second, I dont want condensation to get through the holes once I remove the legs and ruin the inside ofthe hood you know......what do you think
 
Good point. I live if FL, my chiller runs throughout the year.

As long as you drill with a new sharp bit and don't make the holes alot smaller than the screws, the hood wont crack. I would then use some silicone on and around the screws to prevent moisture from getting inside the hood.
 
I am still running mine, not much to look at since I set it up in Jan. I need to figure out what skimmer to get for it, and does anyone run a sump one?
 
hey guys, Western-Reefer used his midle chamber as a mini refugium, has anyone else done this?.....I was wondering, right now I use regular carbon on the bottom compartment, chemi-pure elite in the middle compartment, and the sponge on top and filter floss on top of the sponge.....Will cheato and live rock do the same as what I am using right now?....

I've gotten by with an Azoo fan on the rear of the tank hooked to my controller and the ceiling fan on in the room. Obviously the tank heats up less when we've got the AC running, but except for the last two or three weeks of humidity, we haven't used the AC.

I did use my center as a refugium when I had the tank going. After I get the tank set up again I plan on using it for skimmer. However, I cant decide whether to get the Euro Reef or the Sapphire. I think I will also put utilize as Phosoban reactor too.
