SRC Member Evolutionz Posted July 4, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted July 4, 2013 Great choice of tank and equipment! Why not go for 120w razor x2? I believe will be better. Similar price too I think Quote EvolutionZ's Floating Reef: (Decommed) EvolutionZ's 4ft shallow Mixed Reef Build : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member youdontnowm Posted July 4, 2013 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 4, 2013 thanks ! that is because.. too expensive ! since my mother is going to china for business trip soon , I have asked them to deliver to her place. And by buying there .. its.. cheap :/ ( was abit surprise of the price ) Furthermore , have seen good reviews on it ! And I have seen a reefer using 1 pharos 90w for his 2ft cube , and it looks GREAT ! The specs is great too for the price ! So decided to try ! specs of 1 pharos 90w LED - 4 X Cree XPE Blue 12 X Cree XPE Royal Blue 2 X CREE XPG Warm White 6 X CREE XPG Neutral White you can also swap any led you want with choices of CREE XPG Cool White, UV, Green, Red LEDs. I'm planning of swapping 2 blue for cree UV on 1 light set , that makes 4 UV cree on my 2 pharos. what you think ?

SRC Member Evolutionz Posted July 4, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted July 4, 2013 Led choice looks good. At least they used neutral and warm white instead of cool white alone. Swapping the Blue for violet led (not uv) I'd a good choice.

SRC Member youdontnowm Posted July 4, 2013 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 4, 2013 hmmm... i think they are violet led but they called it uv. done googling in reefcentral, nanoreefs and stuffs , have found out that its not really UV but violet. sometthing about 400nm and below is considered uv but above is violet. anyway , will check with PHAROS Quote | Display : 48x30x22 Skimmer : SK-201 skimz | Sump : 30x24x18 Wavemaker : 2x RW-15 , 1x RW-8 | Cooling : 1HP titanium drop in coil ATO : JBJ | Lighting : ATI Sunpower 8x54w + 48x cree xte royal blue Return : Jebao dc-6000 | Dosing : Jebao dosing pump [ CaCl2 + NaHCO3 ] Pump : | Reactor : FSZ Z160 zeolite reactor & phosban 150 | System : ZEOVIT decomm-ed : Ydkm SPS reef >><< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member youdontnowm Posted July 4, 2013 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 4, 2013 oh , what cabinet height do you guys recommend ?? my tallest equipment is already the skimmer. 56cm. so i think... somewhere around 80~90 cm tall will be ideal ??

SRC Member youdontnowm Posted July 5, 2013 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 5, 2013 Hope yr chiller can support yr tank volume. I think should be no problem i guess! Water volume will decrease alot since the rocks, and substrate took up alot space. And the sump, is not full of water. Maybe roughly only 378~400 litres of water ?
