Looks awesome man. I can see the benefit on using LED's in a tank with regards to lifespan, look and price. Now the main question. Did your...
Number 1: Hanging kit (no resting on rim of tank) There I fixed it.... open top Number 2: Keep topped up (No water...
Open top. Personal choice really. Once you've worked with open top with planting you'll understand. Planting is a breeze. I like my 5 foot tank,...
I have 3 double tube fittings in my hood. So 6 x 54W tubes in there. As for the water evaporation. Depens on your design. If you put in sliders...
I think that's a good idea. Mix and see what happens. I don't think you'll get too much yellow with one 6500K. Not coupled to a 10 000K anyway. I...
I thought this was what you wanted? The yellow into the mix? I'll get 8000K rather than 10 000K. Used my T5 unit for a week or two on my Nano just...
You have two options actually. The CO2 is one where your plants will also benefit given you have the correct lighting fertz etc. The second...
I don't think this is what you want. 18 000K is probably for the Marine guys. You want something between 6500K and 10 000K for plants. I think 18...
Looking forward to see it work. Interesting concept.
Hi @Mahomedi, Give us some tanks specs please. Tank length, Height, Filtration, Substrate. Do you have plants in the tank?
I have T5 tubes. So the wattage will not be the same in length as yours. T8 use different wattages to T5. You get 8000k tubes in 39W T5 bulbs. You...
No I have a 5 foot so I used the 54W. 1.2m tubes.
Get them bud. Very good investment. The lights look nice and bright. Can see clearly in the tank. I am thinking of replacing two of my tubes with...
The tank looks very very good man. +1 for that in line Heating and Difuser. Good job on that. :top: You can chuck one of the aquastar lamps and...
Here is a pic of one of the Fans. The other side looks the same. This one blows air in. [IMG]
Hey Marc, I bought my Ballasts at Century Electric. The Tubes I had to Order because they don't keep the 6500K tubes. I got the 6500K Sylvania...
Getting Crystal Algae Clear on Sunday. Will give it a go and see what happens. Just an update on the Marltons Algae Cure. Waste of money I think....
I don't think you get them in 4x39W except if you buy the likes of odyssea type aquarium units. Are you looking at household ballasts? Then I...
I positioned my fans in the corners at the back of the hood. One blows and the other draws air out. I don't have an Inverter. I bought 220V fans...
Thanks for this riteup @Zoom. This question keep lots of aquarists away from planted tanks I am sure.
