jmigchelbrink Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Is the tank built already? Pics? Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Cant speak for the t5s but I love my hellolights MH retros. Is the hood solid? I opted to go for a hanging hood because my black acrylic hood for the 60(which is being setup this week btw!) was just to confined to release heat with the 250w MH. Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I would definitely recommend the icecap retros over anything from current. I'm biased, but you should try checking reefgeek.com for great retro kit prices (these include your choice of bulbs). Link to comment
proraptor2 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 The tank isnt built yet but should be done by the end of this month. I dont think I want to go halide with an acrylic hood and I really dont want to run fans if I dont have to...Im trying to make the tank super quiet as its in the living room. Ive owned icecap driven T5 ho's before but never got the right bulb combination so I ditched them. Im not sure Ill really need icecap driven T5ho's though for what Im going to keep....

Phixion Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 John made a custom hood for the tank?? Can't wait to see pics though, Pro! Also I have a couple pieces of super dead, dead rock on my balcony. It's yours if you want it. Guaranteed pest free! Link to comment

proraptor2 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Ok some changes to the tank.... John is making it with 3/4 inch acrylic now with no bracing. Its also going to be bigger at 26in X 19 IN X 18 in... Link to comment
proraptor2 Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Finally got the tank but dont have the hood yet Im thinking at this point to just not get the hood built and maybe just do a halide instead. The 3/4 inch acrylic is awesome Here are the pics: Link to comment
