Hi,

u might want to consider to cover up the top of the front tank to block off glaring light. This is harmful to the eyes esp small children at a height looking at your tank.

by the wat, off topic- re u staying near to the highway?

no chiller n u are using 2x250watts?? :ph34r:

try to get a chiller soon.

Ya, hunting for one 1/2hp chiller right now. But my budget only $500, so a bit tough to find. The lights are about 10" above the water, monitoring the temp. now, so far still at 25.7 degrees C with my 3 fans & aircon running. Just off my aircon, lets see how high the temp. will shoot up.

Cheers,

James

Bo pian leh, if no act fast then my 3 frags of Acro later turn brown liao. Before collection of the floodlight already sold off my 150W DE pendant.

The bulb that come with the floodlight is ard 5200K. Quite yellow. PR got sell the 10K and 20K BLV SE 250W bulbs but very expensive ($160 for the 10K) I ordered 1 x 10K & 1 x 20K 250W SE BLV from Viclite liao. $95 for 10K and $115 for 20K. Approximate time of arrival 1-2 weeks. So mean time just bear with the glare.......

Not sure abt plants man, you try out liao let us know lor. Stainless steel tubings can be bought at any hardware stores, if use for marine, get the beter grade stainless steel to prevent rust.

Trust me... even if you have 10,000w of MH... your acro will still remain brown.

You still haven't learnt a single thing.. have you?
