set-up my 65 gall

[kzoo]

I realy dont have any better pics than the first one, I now have it up and running. As for baffle placement the tank is split in half with a over,under,over in center and a melevs bubble trap. Also added a small fung area to keep macro algae and live rock rubble. Check melevs sight he is the man when it comes to sumps

Well kind of keeping this for a log to see how my tanks growth. Fellow reefer gave me some more live rock, hope my cycle finishes soon.

 

[kzoo]

A few additions.

Well my T5 lights didnt have enough pop to have all the sps I want so went with 2 150mh and 2 39w t5, I should be able to keep about any thing.

I like the aquascape all you need now is some branching rock and it would look really good.

 

[kzoo]

Thanks, I was thinking of some more live rock. Just what to keep good flow.

The sump is a 20 gall, as for lights there T5 2 artinic and 1 10k and 1 blue. Trying to find some MH that I like dont think that T5 only will cut it for sps.

I thought that SPS could be kept under T5's?

How's your 150HQI?

How's your 150HQI?

Hey Kzoo,

I have the same tank dimensions. I currently have 4 T5HOs but am thinking of MH. Do you like your 150 HQIs? Do you think a 250Watt HQIs would have been better? What bulbs are you using? I know it's too many questions but you're the first one I've seen with the same tank dimensions as mine with a 150 Watt MHs. Others use 250 Watts because of the depth. Last question, where did you buy your lights?

Thanks in advance for your reply!

Yes the 65s are deep and I dont think the t5s cut thought to the bottom. I have 2 ushio 20ks and 2 39watt t5s now and every thing looks good and growing well, I thought of useing the 250w but was worried about heat and dont want to run a chiller. As for buying lights I kind of made my own with a good reflector and a electronic ballast works well so far.

Well have had a few changes added a tunze and few new corals, thought I would post them.
