Need some help in an experiment: DATA Wanted nothing more

[firefish2020]

Im gathering data to use in one of my crazy theories to help perpetuate our reef tanks even further, sort of a magic number depending on what you are trying to keep. So far I have data entered for about 75 tanks but still need more to rule out bias.
If you wish to help this is all I need.

<b>
Tank:</b>
I need your tank volume in gallons
The sump in gallons

<b>Livestock:</b>
SPS dominant
Mixed
Softies

<b>Lighting:</b>
Day- total hours run
Actinic-Total hours run

<b>Total water flow in the system in Gallons per Hour</b>


If a wave device or random flow device is used please <b>yes</b> or <b>no</b>
</b>

Do you already have my info?

 

[1package]

Tank - 210g, sump 75g
Mixed
MHs - 9hrs
VHO Actinic - 10.5 hrs.

Water flow - 1200g return, 2600g Seio, 3175g Tunze #1, 3175g Tunze #2, 1200g closed loop #1, 1200g closed loop #2 = 12550/295 = 42 times turnover (excluding head loss and assuming 100% water volume).

sump 30g

Livestock:
Mixed 60/40 Softies to LPS

Lighting:
Day- 10hrs
Actinic-12 hrs

approx 3800gph

In the name of science:

I need your tank volume in gallons = 72 gallons
The sump in gallons = 9 gallons approximately

Livestock:
SPS dominant
Mixed = That's me. More softies than SPS
Softies

Lighting:
Day- total hours run = 9 hrs
Actinic-Total hours run - 10 hrs

Total water flow in the system in Gallons per Hour = 500 approx.


If a wave device or random flow device is used please yes or no
1 Hydor only. ? if this applies

[phljess]

Tank 210 plus 50 gallon sump
Mixed
DL 12
ACT 14
Flow 10500 minus head loss so prob about 9000?
Random yes

 

[firefish2020]

Oh crap guys I forgot one important thing!
<b>
Day lighting in total watts
Actinic lighting in total watts
</b>
Sorry about that but thanks
It looks good so far!

 

[phljess]

DL 1200 watts
Act 320 watts

 

[coralreefer]

actinic 55w PC

Tank C
Daylight 27w "dual daylight" PC

[joyski58]

Lighting:
Day- total hours run = 9 hrs = MH 150w 10K, 150w 14K
Actinic-Total hours run - 10 hrs = 72w

 

[firefish2020]

More please

Remember I need total halide and actinic wattage.

 

[LtPiper]

Tank 55 gallons

Lighting: LED Ummm I would say 250 act and 250 day as it's the = to 500 watts total hailide output.


Tank 39 gallons

Lighting: 74 Watts act 74 day


Tank 10 gallons

Lighting: 18 Act 18 Full

 

[firefish2020]

Actually they are close to 4 watts bep bulb I think, how many bulbs per array and how many arays?

 

[LtPiper]

25 per and 4 arrays so around 400 watts counting it that way and they are split for the most part 50/50 daylight actinic course there are the green bulbs in there....... We really need to get a light meter on this thing and see what the actual output is......
