EnFuego Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 looks great. Any heat issues? audiocontrol...you have got to lose some of those signature banners. Link to comment
jtsam Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 haha, thanks guys, i'm really happy with the way it turned out as well. i'm using a ushio bulb i believe...i threw away the bulb box and i can't remember. it's a complete do it yourself project actually, i designed and made the hood. i was a little worried about the heat but so far it's not too bad the highest its gotten is 81 but it generally hovers around 80. i'm thinking about putting a fan pointing at the water in the back to cool a little more though, right now i just have 2 fans cycling the air in the hood. as for evaporation i'm not too sure what it's going to be like yet as i just started my photoperiod at 2hrs a day mh w/ the actenic on for 10. i still gotta work it up quite a bit before i really know. but i'm not too worried about that, i have a air pump auto top off in the back. oh yeah, i also got a moonlight in there Link to comment

Josh125 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Cool, could you explain the air pump auto top off? I guess you have a float switch in the fuge area in the back? Link to comment
jtsam Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 sho nuff, there is a auto top of switch back there. the switch is spliced into a battery powered air pump that pressurizes a container with the top off water and pumps it up to my tank, check out http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...&threadid=29093 if you want more info on how this works - it's a great little thread Link to comment
