skimmer was shipped today and i think he got the tunzes. tank should be coming sat. ill see if he can get pics asap

the LED's are focused Light. so you need to measure it accordingly. there are many 250w owners with SPS, who love the light, and have seen growth. remember you can have 1000w halides over your tank, but if your water quality, and trace minerals are not where they need to be, no amount of light is going to get them to grow.

 

[purebullet417]

yes that is true. well see hopefully the light turns out to be realy good but the thing that sold us was you can touch the light and its cold. there is no heat given off to really get trapped in the canopy and heat up the tank

 

[LarryW]

yeah, You can run them for hours, then walk up, and touch the unit, and the plexi shield and it's just a little warm. Just make sure you put holes on the side of the canopy for the fans. on set pulls air in, the other exhausts.

 

[purebullet417]

yea we wanted to use like central air vents but cant find wood ones. dose anyone know where to get them

 

[LarryW]

you mean floor vents in wood right? They have them at lowes and HD in the furnace filter isle.

 

[purebullet417]

new tunze power heads 6101 with rocks.I already have 2 6000 with multi controller on the 125.I will be adding these to the 210g

 

[purebullet417]

the 2 6101s will be on the glass and the 2 6000 from the current tank will be in the rocks. we have 1 more rock coming next week just in case we want to use 3. the skimmer should arrive next Thursday and the tank either tomorrow or within the next few days

 

[mbaychuk]
