Steve's 480g upgrade

[cbui2]

if 2 more MH 400w are installed then you will be able to duplicate the sun

 

[Jar*Head]

Save that for the 10f tank in the future

Hey Bart, Steve's going to hang the (2) 400w halides over his refugium

 

[Jar*Head]

Terry, that is exactly what i have in mine

 

[tbone28]

Your macro algae will grow so fast, you won't need skimmers anymore! :lol:

 

[Jar*Head]

Now you are wrong. Because Macro algae don't do well with too much light

 

[tbone28]

that's why i'm your grasshoppa!! teach me!! wax on, wax off!

 

[Jar*Head]

I used to have 3 flood light on my fuge and my Macro algae weren't happy. Here is the real fuge

My new fuge will not have any Macro algae. I will have approx 10" RDSB with lots of clams

 

[tbone28]

Woah, that fuge is huge!!! That's display-tank sized!

 

[cbui2]

2 HD reflectors w/2 100w 6100k spiral bulbs is what i use and grows like weeds in two months

that was the fuge for my 240g cube

It is the titanium meshwheel that klaus design

i am pretty sure the HC wheel is made from Hastelloy C, not Titanium. Hastelloy is a nickel based alloy.

And yes, I am probably the only one who cares.

THAT IS A LOT OF CHEATO!

Update:

Finally get all the rock dipped in RODI and bleach for couple days to kill whatever may be in the rock. I also have all the galaxy ballast, Lumenbright and Ushio 14k bulbs

No idea how much all this thing weight but it does put a pain in my back

Galaxy ballast

 

[Jar*Head]

Lumen bright reflector and Ushio bulbs. I have two more reflectors on the way

Some of my chicken scratch

Light rack

Floor layout of my new home. I chose option 2 , unless i want to settle with something smaller.

I change from 6 tunze 6201 to 4 tunze 6301 (It is on order as well). I also get rid of the Deltec 601S and go with the deltec PF1001

 

[tbone28]

It's about time for an update! Option 1 would be cool!

 

[clownnrnd]

Looks like with option 1 you could of gone a bit bigger

Agreed! Steve, you should have that tank go down the hallway!

 

[cbui2]

about time and update, this thread was going nowhere. no Steve, option 3 would be much better then i would build equipment room outside. 4 6301 you will need to build a special shroud around the pumps. it will be awhile before your display is being setup, i can help you break in those 6301's

 

[Jar*Head]

Sure, i will send it your way if you want to remove the 1000lbs of LS that you have in the tank. Cuz you know it will stir up your tank like crazy.

Chad, you are funny. Better yet, you are the funniest old man i ever met

Terry, my wife will kill me.

Option 1, that looks like itd be great. And tha tlooks like some nice quality rock.
