clownnut Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 i cut the hole a little bigger than the tunze so i can still adjust the tunze. Link to comment
clownnut Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Update: MH Mod, firtst i move the 2 PCs away from each other a little bit so the MH can fit in between, i removed 1 LED moon light. you cant tell the different with 2 or 3. added a small 50MMX10MM Fan. Actinic 6:30-10:30 10000K 7:30- 3:30 70W 20000K 3:29-9:30 because the lighting setting, i also switched the 10000K and actinic, so the fans is on whenever the pc actinic is on. AC Jr, still wait on the mount for the AC Jr to arrive(next week tuesday) with that 50MMX10MM fan i can keep my temp around 77F. Link to comment
Prowland Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Where did you get that MH from? Link to comment
clownnut Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 i got it from aquabuys. i compare the nanotuners and aquabuys, i find the aquabuys fit my need better and it's a lot cheapers. i did upgrade to 20KK ushio. 20KK + actinic will give me a radium bulb looks. 20KK + actinic + 10KK(PC) will give me 14K looks.

A!ex Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 great aquascape ! Looks like it has a mouth ! great look Link to comment
MSU Fan Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Do you have better pics/walkthrough of the process you used to add the MH and the fan? Is there an external ballast for the MH? Also, is the 50x10mm fan that largest you could fit? It looks that way, but I would like confirmation. Link to comment
Deano Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Nice job.. How the heat issues? I know my tank with 168w of PC lighting in the stock hood was hard to keep below 82 degees without keeping both hatches open. I have since modded the hood with a fan and drilled holes in the front cover and the heat isn't as bad 79 to 80 now with both hatches closed. Link to comment

I dont have the process pics. yeah, it's external ballast, i will post more pics once i have the the AC Jr mounted and clean up all the cords. 50MM fan is the biggest one can fit in there. it can do the job.

I have since modded the hood with a fan and drilled holes in the front cover and the heat isn't as bad 79 to 80 now with both hatches closed. no, temp is around 77 when the MH is on. i know the 50mm fan i put in can move more air than the 2 fans the BC come with. i think that's why i can keep my temp around 77.

sen5241b Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 You are putting the new MH in and the added flow so as to keep more advanced corals? (I just got a BC 29G a couple months ago.) Link to comment

Did you let your tank cycle? Most don't recommend putting in an anemone until at least 6-9 months to make sure the tank water is stable. Nice set-up and Good Luck! Link to comment

BIOCUBE UNIT Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 lol, all my rock is cured. i just transfer from one tank to anther. (24G custom to 29BC)i wont put my 2 years old black/white ocellaris, RBTA and all my acans to risk. First off, nice mod and nice tank! How does that 70 w MH light up your 29 BC? I went from a 250 w Sunpod, to the 150 w and finally I am going to test the 70 w MH sunpod. My GBTA just didnt like the strong lighting that the 250 and 150 gave off. I think it has more to do with the fact that the GBTA is situated right underneath the lamp, most intense spot to be. I hope he likes the 70 watt b/c this is the last stop. He seemed to like the stock hood PC, I just wanted to go topless. I see that your RBTA is situated the same spot as mine, did your RBTA seem to like the new lighting? Thanks!! Good Job!!

Good Job!! i have the same RBTA under 400w before. it loves it, stay right under the 400w. i have one RBTA under all the stock pc doing just as well as under the 70w or 400w. BTW, Forgot to add, those clowns are absolutely stunning! You say you've had them for 2 years? Have they shown any signs of wanting to spawn? thanks, the reason i change from my custom one to this one, because i can keep everything stable so they will feel more comfortable\, i have another pair of teardrop ocellaris, after a month of them move into the another bc 29 they just spawn twice.
