The Giessman spectra is insane I have one 400w running right now and it is super bright. It is 17'' from the water and it covers almost the enrire tank and width with no promblem.

I told you the light spread was awesome! Now you know! Judging from the light spillover in the last pic, you should have got a wider tank.

gorgeous jose! sorry if i missed this before -- how did you attach the overflow box? is it somehow pinned by the bulkhead? if so, where'd you put the rubber gasket (between the box and the tank wall?)?

what lights are you running in the pics?

 

[tonyespinoza]

another question... i also have an 300 external and have been told by klaus not to gravity feed it but run it off a pump for less turbulence, blah blah blah... do you know what the flow rate is or do you just let nature take it's course with the gravity feed? any issue with air bubbles, or does it run at full siphon?

 

[SaraB]

WOW! Will all those frags it looks like you already need a bigger tank

Thank you Tony! It is pinned with one gasket in the middle of the prefilter and another on the back.

Tony I have a valve that I can open and close to incease the flow rate or decrease but I put a flow meter and its doing 300gph roughly. I have no issues with air bubbles and skims 5 gallons a week and not set to skim wet either,
