That's what I thought!
Nevermind

 

[ClownReef®]

Hows your new setup going??.. You should start a thread here on RC for those of us who arent banned..LOL

 

[melev]

There is nothing to seed. You have LR. Done. Just take your time stocking this tank, since you don't have the benefit of the DSB to help with filtration.

Congrats on getting your tank back up with no gooooooooo

 

[ClownReef®]

Thanks .. Goo free is the only way..lol

I dont want to wait any longer.. I want to put my fish back in..

 

[ClownReef®]

....aaaand its here!!

 

[rutz81]

All your other equipment I was able to shrug off and tell myself,"Nah, I don't need that". But, that Powermodule is the straw that broke the camel's back, that is an awesome light, Congrats and cant wait to see it hanging.

 

[ClownReef®]

RUTZ,

Thanks .. I just gotta find a drill to hang it..

Here is the bulb configuration.

Front:
ATI Blue Plus
ATI True Actinic
Korallen Zucht Fiji Purple
ATI Blue Plus
ATI True Actinic
UVL 10K AquaSun
ATI Aqua Blue 12K Special
ATI Blue Plus

I was originally gonna go with a 10x24w fixture but there was a LOOOOONG wait for them..so got this one instead..I couldnt be happier.. ReefGeek has top notch customer service...shipping was preeetty fast too

 

[GSMguy]

ok that light is super pimp, nice pickup.

i think thats the next step for me also, 8x54w powermodule.

 

[TheReefKeeper]

Nice I'm thinking of dumping my MH and going that way too. what's the with of the 8? I would like the 10 but don't know if I have the with.

 

[melev]

At least now your goo will look prettier.

Yeah. I said it.

 

[Makoto]

I saw a Cube with the overflow box in the middle it looked so good and clean, that's going to be my next setup.

 

[ClownReef®]

Marc,


LOL!.. Dont say the G word!!!..That word is banned from this household..

MAKOTO,

My tank has a corner overflow.. That leaves me plenty of room.

Clown:

I was contemplating if I could get away with a 6 x 24W Powermodule...My tnak is a touch smaller than yours(24x24x16). Now, that you see your light in front of you, do, you think I should spend the extra bucks and just get the 8 bulb version, or will be the 6 be fine?

Thanks,
Dave

Rutz,
6 lamps will be plenty on a short tank like that. I've got 8 on my 24" cube and I'm having trouble with the chalices, etc at the bottom.

Clown,
Looks good. If I didn't retro my setup, I would have gotten a powermodule as well. Those are so sexy looking.

 

[ClownReef®]

Rutz,

That fixture would be just fine in your tank..I was originally going to go with a 10 bulb unit.

These fixtures are awesome and VERY well made..

 

[cpreefguy]

Awesome Diego! You've got two on me! Sexy fixtures aren't they? I decided to hang mine instead of sell it. Check out my thread on MAAST lol

 

[ClownReef®]

Sean,

Yeah, they are amazing..

I would check out your thread but no can do..LOL (Dammit!)

Are you still going to keep coral?

 

[cpreefguy]

First off, hang that thing! I want to see how the bulb combo looks, nice choices BTW!

I am going to keep ricordea, maybe some gorgonians.

 

[ClownReef®]

Im out of town right now..Ill hang it tonight when I get home..
