Reefsahoy,
I really like the way you have shared your reef through this thread. Nice job all the way around. I am putting up a new Infinity 250w 4- 54W T5s fixture this weekend. I would appreciate any thoughts and or lessons learned you have in the following areas.
1) Hanging the fixture "“ The upper part of the suspension kit will be mounted directly into a 2x4 beam therefore I feel pretty secure there. How did you do the bottom end of the wire to make it a clean look into the spring loaded holder at the same time giving you the security you need to adjust the fixture upward for tank access and to remove it periodically to change out bulbs. (Mine is built into a wall so side access to remove the covers is not an option for bulb replacement). I saw the fixture crash part of your thread. As you know these fixture are very heavy and you were fortunate and I am concerned.
2) Lamps "“ What lamp combination are you currently using and what is your photoperiod for each set? I am starting with the Giesemann Blue MH, 2 Giesemann Actinic+, KZ Fiji Purple, and a KZ coral Light. Any thoughts? How far above the water if your fixture mounted?
3) Love the LED moonlight mod. If you had it you do again what would you use and how would you do it?
Thanks for sharing and happy reefing!
Take care, Mike
