wilsontantw Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 These lights were recycled from my previous old tanks. Plan was to "test" using 4 tubes DE-lighting vs 4 tubes of ATI powermodule. Results were conclusive. Total power used: 8x24=192w. However this setup used to many powerpoints, and par value is not that good... thus jumped on the bandwagon when fellow reefer, desi and ketchup offered their 4' giesseman Infiniti for me to "experiment". Total power: 500w (MH)+ 216 (T5) = 716w! within 1 week of using it, can see corals are colouring up. This despite only 1hr of MH per day. Thumbs up for desi and ketchup!!!

wilsontantw Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Very important piece of equipment... 3-in-1 digital timer. this is a cheap and good equipment! I'm using it to control: 1) 2 moon lights (led)- simulate dusk and dawn. 2) 2x54w T5 - 0730-2100 3) 2x54w T5 - 0800-2200 4) 2x250w MH - 1000-1100 5) 1xfan - when MH is on Thus, I need 2 of this unit with 1 spare point. Which I'm planning to use for refugium reverse photoperiod... Now lighting is fully automated.. well, almost... Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute.

wilsontantw Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Ah... forgot to update a change in equipment... Was using a 1/3hp daeil which was sufficient for the tank, but due to heat and space issue, this was ro change, barely 1 month after setup. Luckily the piping was done with much flexibility.

wilsontantw Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Finally completed transferring most of the corals over from previous tanks and more importantly, from my BIL - fishchemist - also a fellow reefer, who graciously hosted quite a sizeable number of sps and lps while i was cycling the tank! Thanks bro! The SPS actually blossom while under his care (and 2x250w MH)... so much so, i didn't feel like taking them back. lol. But yah, we should all find some reefing buddies! So without much further ado, here're the pictures. Starting with some Montipora Cap. Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it is open.
