Good Morning everyone,Have not been around here in a while, here is a update and some pics of my system. Its now one year old since we bought the new house.
So I have made some major changes in the past year so lets start.
t just broke the one year point and my frags are growing nicely.
I did not like my aqua scaping there was just something I didnt like and it was bugging me!So I striped down the tank and redid the Aquascaping,to a better design and look.
Im Testing the Xwave Pumps simular to a Tunze stream product with controller, and a Xwave rotary device simular to the wavysea
I read and compared data from sanjays site, and spoke to many hobbists about using 400w SE bulbs vs 250 SE bulbs.
I decided to downgrade my lighting to 250w once again I did this because I want to be more energy efficient I compared XM`s 10k 250w vs other brands of 400w that have produced incredible results and felt that 250w will do just fine and I like them better.
I Also went on to changing all my VHO`s and switched back to T5 HO`s which I used prior to setting up this tank T5 bulb quality has come along way since the first models especially since VHO bulbs will no longer be available next year.
I swapped out my A300 H&S for the new A250 H&S skimmer one less pump working 24/7 and skims like a son of a gun!
So in a nutshell I have reduced my power consumtion by less than half and I like the look of the tank more than ever before.
Here are some pics you can also see the Xwave units in there.
