Any trap that draws water/bubbles downward creates more issues than it solves imo. If you're going to use a baffle I would design it so water runs over it..not under. I have found keeping the...

If it were me I would run either reeflux 12ks or XM10ks with an Electronic ballast or Radiums with an HQI ballast.

I would think the bubble plate combined with 1500 li/h air intake is going to make up for the short reaction chamber.

The new BK supermarine 200 looks very interesting. Adjustable water and air intake. Price looks to be fairly reasonable also based on the known price for its big brother...the Supermarine 250. A...

Don't get to caught up in the term 14k, 20k, etc. A 20k bulb doesn't necessarily produce 20k light color. For instance, a 20k radium on an HQI ballast appears whiter than many 14k bulbs.

3 250w radiums on HQI ballasts housed in Luminarc minis. Consider T5s or VHOs for actinic and sunrise/sunset.

Looks great. Keep us posted on how your sps are responding to the Solaris. I'm very interested to see how the LED lighting effects coloration.

Did anyone see the study showing the ATI Powermodule fixture puts out almost double the par as the other fixtures.....equal wattage bulbs.

I don't know very many people that have run 400w radiums on an HQI ballast that have been displeased. Bulb life is a little short but the combination is very nice.

I would place much faith in the "K" rating of a particular bulb being the actual color. A 20k radium on a HQI ballast is more of a 12k-14k imo. Some 14k bulbs run much bluer than a true 14k color.

Looks good! As you adjust the color of the light does the unit tell you the actual "k" color of the light? If so, what K are you running?

Klaus,

Do you know when the release date of the Supermarine 200 will be? I am setting up a 200g tank but believe the 250 might be a little much.

With the type of flow we are now able to obtain through products like Tunze and Vortech PH, can anyone make a convincing argument why we should still utilize close loops?
