prop tank
prop tank
Mine is 8' L,30" wide, and 18" deep,
I use a Maxijet 4500 and return the water through a spraybar, and a bulkhead fitting on the opposite end, I first used just old VHO fluorescents, now prefer the T5 with 2 MHs, so far the 4500 seems to do a decent job. The water comes out, goes through a deep gravel filter and then on up to the spray bar. Which is angled towards the opposite end and is just a few inches over the vat end.
it raises frags, shrooms, and zoas, some ricordia, lights are about 24" above the water surface. It gets a water change about once a month. Am taking it all down as I am moving in 3 weeks which will be an all week job. I knew I was going to so have been reducing the whole biomass.
At the new place I will build another 36" wide and 18" deep.Lighting will be about the same, the room windows face east. I may add a tang and a wrasse to both, not sure, they will have Bangai cardinals.
