New pic time. I got a few things done this week with my tank. I built and attached a self supported canopy that will house a 175 watt 14K
Metal Halide, and 4 470nm moonlights. I have also upgraded my
skimmer and redesigned my
fuge plumbing.
I re-plumbed the
fuge. I thought that 540
GPH through the
fuge would be a bit much so I set up the plumbing so that I have a flow to the
fuge and an outlet that would act as a closed loop. Each of the outlet's flow is regulated by a ball value.
I have removed the skilter 400 that was given to me and upgraded to an Aqua Medic Turbofloater multi SL. I have also added a small 10K
PC on the
fuge. I have ordered a fluidized media filter that I will use to run either carbon, phosban, or
nitrate sponge. I might later add on more beds, but for now I have a 90
GPH pump that should be fine for one fluidized chamber. I have also used eggcrate to make a ring around the perimeter of the tank in order to guard against jumpers. The center of the screen is open in order to allow the maximum amount of light in.
