SRC Member typrobin Posted September 14, 2004 Author SRC Member Share Posted September 14, 2004 my favourite equipment!!! 2 X profantic fans.... time to upgrade to chiller... MY OLD 3ft!! My Latest Plan!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member typrobin Posted September 14, 2004 Author SRC Member Share Posted September 14, 2004 lessons learnt... 1) i prefer to do skimmers.. .electrical stuffs are better left to the electricians..had to hide behind my sofa before i switch on my 250W mh, so afraid that it will explode... 2) next time i will just get someone else and pay for the work... 3) 1 X 250W is not enough for 3ft tank...even with spider reflectors.... now the questions are... 1) should i go 2 X 250W?? approximately $300 + another day's work... 2) 2 X 250W = chiller...approximately $350 (resun 650) 3) 2 X 250W with only LPS?? should i try SPS?? approximately $kk.... 4) SPS = calcium reactor...approximately $500 to DIY moral of the story... should have just continued with my 2 X 150W.......

DeepBlue Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 like what scarab has done...if you want to go 1X250W MH...you need to go with 2XT5 tubes on both sides for extra illumination. 1X250W will only cover range of 2ft ...even with reflectors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
