Marcelo31 Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 well this project is finally done. Managed to get everything in there.Theres 2 24w 50/50 stock lights ,1 32w 03 atinic hellolights retro. I've got a couple of fans that are ducted to draw the air from the clear plastic cover and blow it out. I have got to say that the plastic cover and clear plastic shield can handle the heat. No warping or melting with a week into finishing it. Link to comment
TiGs Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Looks good. Lets see a tank shot with the lights Link to comment
yOyOYoo Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 wow, how much will it cost to build me one?? haha. im serious. Link to comment
mattie Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 looks good i would reccomend IMO to switch one of the 50/50 bulbs to a 10k. only becouse i have heard mixed reviews about the 50/50 bulbs Link to comment
Meloco14 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Awesome job. I am working on a simpler design in my nanocube. I'm adding 2 13W bulbs to the original 24. Theres just enough room on either side of the original for a 13watt bulb. In the future I will probably want to set up something like what you've done. Thanks for the pic! Link to comment
Marcelo31 Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 Yeah i might try that. The hellolight 03 atinic doen't look that great, or aleast the way I remember the coralife bulbs looked like. The 50/50 jbj bulbs look like 6500k wth one side colored blue. What is the 10,000k. Just found a new addition to my hood today at wall mart.It's a blue neon 6in strip for my moon lite. Funny thing happen today when i decided to to finally hook up the fans. The temp fell from 75-76deg . 75 deg. is where the heater comes on, to about 74deg. 50w ebo jager . Is that not enough watts to keep temps up ? Link to comment
mattie Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 10 k bulbs are a better spectrum for marine fish and corals. 6.5k is good for freshwater plants and the 50/50 part can sometimes be 6500/7500 whcich means white and blue but not the best light color focus for marine aquaria ( look it up ) if you run 10k, actinic03 and 50/50 bulb you are adding a wider variety of lighting spectrum Link to comment
