Nice GSM!

I've been reworking my lighting. Only two pendants are up and running so far, and they need to be lowered, but here's a couple of quick pics:

you should stick with this rock layout! this has probably been suggested before... but you should get 2 lumenarcs or maybe add a 3rd pendant

anyone out there using fans? anyone have pics on how they have it setup? wondering if i have a fuge would it still cool my entire tank? I really dont want to have it on top where you can see it wondering if i would get the same results if i put it in my sump area?

 

[Electrobes]

Sure you can ReefCuber. You should be able to achieve quite a bit of evap by putting a fan on a Refugium, thus cooling the tank.

Great thread!

Updated FTS. Didn't get the whole tank (63" x 44" x 14" ) on the picture, because my tripod is touching my desk. I will rebuild my room soon (dismantle a wall) Then I will be able to make some REAL FTS shots

More detailed pictures+build in my tank thread

Leonardo,
Great looking tank as usual. What lighting (bulb + ballast + reflector) are you using? The tank doesn't look bright at all, is that just the camera or the MH is not on? Do you happen to have picture of your tank without actinic?

Thx!

Leonardo.... WOW!!! All those colonies are even bigger in your new setup, followed your original thread, love the new setup! Looks like even less liverock, do you have any added fuge or liverock extended to your system to provide beneficial bacteria, or are you running zeo?

Some of my LPS collection. Aussie Acans, Bowerbanki's, Micro's and Favia's. The chalices are going in my other new tank (268G)

 

[GSMguy]

So what are you going to light it with? I need ideas.

I had won a Solaris I5 LED lighting system at Reefapalooza in October and I upgraded the unit to a 3 footer.

 

[GSMguy]

Oh,nice prize, good luck with it, keep a backup handy, it seems as though PFO has gone out of buisness, so repairs will be on you.

Also they only light about 15" front to back, so there will only be light in the center.

 

[maroun.c]

Will be adding a small cube, Limited to 20x20 still undecided on height any suggestionson height and on overflow design of sucha small tank would be appreciated.

 

[GSMguy]

If possible I would do a coast to coast overflow that is external with a herbie or bean animal overflow design,

For height, it comes down to preference, I like my tank at 14" but I might go 16" if I had to do it again.
