but ill be honest those lights put out alot of light! and the bubble wand in the back is temp. also there just for great water movement!



HOW IS IT?

Looking good. The lights may put out a lot of light, but the wrong spectrum, what kind are you planning on running?

[EllisColes]

the bulbs are actually 200 watt full spectrum bulbs on there now, but the lights im plannin on putting in the box that im building is a 440 watt ballast with 4x110 watt vho bulbs

What type of lights are they? I recently found some 100W 65k 1600 lumen CF. I was thinking about trying one in my fuge. I am skeptical because this was only $7.00 US.

[EllisColes]

this on a fuge would be amazing and there just normal construction spot lights that are i think 5 dollars at homedepot that clamp on and the bulb is a 200 watt full spectrum bulb i picked up while i was there!

Scape looks good....I would reconsider the bubble wand though....that thing is gonna spread salt everywhere.

I like the layout, though for temp circulation you would be better off with a cheap powerhead, otherwise you will have a salt crystal forest grow on the back of the tank... :)

[EllisColes]

yeah ill probably go today and grab one

I've been hearing good things about the Hydor Koralia pumps, similar to the Tunze for 1/8 of the cost. Worth looking into.
