SRC Member NeoReef Posted July 15, 2018 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 15, 2018 Anyways i decided to ditch the idea of the elevated hood concept as i felt it was redundant and it would add on to the cost of the set up. Besides the aluminium stands that came with if were pretty sleek so i went with that instead . Heres some pics of the lights which i put up today and the messy uncompleted wirings... i will be getting something to conceal and organise all these wires soon. A major mistake i made for the tank’s design was the postion of the top up tank and failure to take into account the length of the wirings (mainly the solenoid) and it ended up in me not able to put all my controllers and power plugs at one spot (my control panel) as seen in the sump pictures here..

SRC Member NeoReef Posted July 15, 2018 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 15, 2018 A noob question : Is it okay to connect all my lights to the same power plug or will that overload the circuit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo77 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 U may want to find out the clearance space as it seems near to yr water level. If on one extension cord solely for light, should be fine.

It wont overload the circuit as each led light normally take less then 3amp. even radion x30 pro is rated at 2.5 amp only and that is if u run at max (which most of us dont run at 100%) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would have burnt a bigger hole in my pocket if i didnt source for ways to cut down the budget for the tank haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
