Emm.... I can see you are just running a single Tunze Stream... is that the Stream 6100? If yes, how do you like the current of just running 1 Stream? I suppose your LPS prefer it this way... can see from the way the Prata opens up :P

it is just 6000 . running on interval 2 on the multicontroller from 30-60%

Bro in your opinion, will the 6000 cause sand storm in 100% flow? :thanks:

Nope... I have 2 Stream 6000 running in my tank (alongside return, flushing system & Nano 6025)... 6000 will not create sand storm if you are not using grade 0 sand.

ok. can try using a can. those instant food cans or soft drink cans.

cut it open. cut into 2 halfs. you will have 2 curve pieces of metals.

can use glue or tape to stick the metal reflector on the bulb.

hope it works.

sorry bro what is the purpose of it ?

to help the light to be more focus. so that your refegium is brighter.

otherwise why would a 150w buld need a MH?

thanks bro for the coke can suggestion

recycling a coke can to act as reflector and making full use of Aquatronica level capability to make sure that the water will never over flow
