klagos Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Just checking, but I have three of these Mini-Aqualight that includes one 9 watt, true actinic 03 and one 9 watt, 10000°K daylight bulbs. I wanted to replace these with one light. The tank specs. are 12"l x 12"w x 24"h. Everything seems happy, but my shrooms haven't opened up completely, mostly, but not completely. Link to comment
FAC_WNY Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 250w halide?? Thats what I'd toss over the tank, but thats just me. Cheers, Fred Link to comment
klagos Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 I have actually been investigating this light: Reef Optix III Plus Double Ended Reflector (250W) How much heat is a light like this going to produce? Link to comment
FAC_WNY Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 A lot....invest in some fans. Cheers, Fred Link to comment
klagos Posted July 18, 2004 Author Share Posted July 18, 2004 How about the heat with this? Coralife Metal Halide Pendant 175w? I can hang it up to three feet above the tank. Cill that be too high? Link to comment
Cellenzweig Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 You want it lower than that. I'd say ~9" off the water surface. Just toss a couple computer fans on the hood (one blowing in, the other out) and you'll be set. Link to comment
