SRC Member mousecat11 Posted January 9, 2009 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 9, 2009 Just collected the custom make tank from Vincent last night togther with the custom make sump... the main tank is runing on a external overflow instead of a internal overflow.. as i do not want to cut a hole in my cabinet.. any advantage or draw back for tank runing on a external overflow instead of a internal overflow system ?

MH lighting will be nicer for SPS set-up as you get the shimmering effect which LEDs cannot give. Just my opinion. Can't wait to see yr tank running.

Just my opinion. Can't wait to see yr tank running. If you see the display tank in ML, the Lumenaqua produces very nice Shimmering effect exactly just like what MH can produce or better !! But without all the heat being transfer into the water of course .... that is one of the main reason why i decided on this.. Also due to this lighting, i need not get a overpower chiller which help save some cost as well..
