I rented the garage located about 15 miles away from my house. It was good because it has a private access and no communication to the building auto parking and so do not receive exhaust fumes from cars, has a window to allow forced ventilation, has a WC and a good price. cheers, |

I apologize for the delay but i could not take the pictures yesterday because I had a small problem with the calcium reactor, but it is already resolved. uff!!!
As requested some pictures of frag racks: general view left side view central view right view I hope you enjoy it. Next requested equipment pics |

Also as requested i show lighting details. Because lighting is similar in all tanks, and to be better understood, i show close ups of T5 lamps/mounting on the maternity, because it is easier to shoot.
Maternity (far and up side view) maternity top view individual lighting maternity down side view Hi hope you have been enlightened on the lighting. lol |

Wow
It's great seeing how well SPS do with T5's over a shallow tank, absolutely beautiful.
Had a question about your lighting fixtures, they look like commercial fixtures with waterproof endcaps. Is that correct? Who is the manufacturer. Thanks. |

Yes, it is true, I lack of lamps for the corals grow more. The Maternity tank is 18 "in height and are mounted eight tubes (8x80w = 640w) and the Day-care tank is 20" in height and 10 tubes (10x80w = 800w. I need at least two more tubes in each tank, for that I have to change my lighting system, but it has high costs. Cheers, |

The fixture was developed by a Portuguese guy Mr. Fernando Ribeiro, and is marketed by his online shop whose name is Seahorseshop.com. He sells parts, namely, the aluminum structure you see between the tubes, the ballast, fittings, endcaps, the reflector, etc.. , and i only have to buy the electric cables and mount the fixture. If I mount i can save money. The only inconvenient is that in an aquarium with 39" width, such as my Day-care tank, I can only put five fixtures (10 tubes) because the aluminum structure of each fixture occupies the space of one tube, and so having 5 fixtures as i have in my Day-care tank, are 5 tubes unless I can use. Where i have an aluminum estruture i should have one more tube. Cheers |

You could mount one more tube below it. It would just raise your other lamps up about 1"

As majesticangelfish said, ballasts are inside the square aluminum estruture. |

H20ENG, i understand your idea but i think that is not easy to solve the problem. The aluminum structure is sold with four holes to fix endcaps for two tubes. To mount one more tube it would be necessary to open two more holes and could mount another tube, but I think that this third tube mounted below the others would produce shadows in the tank ... |
