The Aqua Lux 27W 50/50 four pin bulbs are

9-5/8” from tip of bulb to bottom of the base,

10” from tip of bulb to end of the pins.

Hope that helps

that's a great LED mod - keep us up to date on how well it grows macro - the extra flow through chamer two should really help in that respect too :D

chaeto & macro in fuge, 6-6-05

I setup the tank over the weekend of 6/4/05

Let’s use this pic as a starting point for growth.

The fuge has both Chaeto & a red leaf lettuce looking macro.

I want to see which will grow best,

or if they grow at all with the LED.

It is amazing how much stuff we add that requires power

 

(1) stock nc6 ballast for the (1) 18 watt light

 

(2) Fulham Work Horse 2 ballast for the (2) 27 watt lights

 

(3) low voltage transformers to run;

*(2) cooling fans for daylight cycle,

*(1) 48 LED fuge light & cooling fan for night time cycle

*(2) LED moon lights

 

(1) 50 watt heater

 

(2) pumps

 

(1) Coralife Power Center timer for day/night cycle

 

(1) timer for second pump to control wave maker action

 

Did I forget anything??????????:o

What??? X) I didn’t win? :angry:

I thought it was a race to see who could mod their tank and have it stocked first.

Darn, I knew I should have read the rules.

 

Good luck on your 2nd tank Agent003, sorry to hear about the 1st one. SDreefers rock!

Thanks for the heads up on the contest, I wouldn't have known about it if you didn't post it on sdreefs. Good luck to you too!

I like corals that can move with the water movement

& my favorites are the different Euphyllia species.

I also like that you can mix them together,

at least most hammer & frogspawn species.

I’ve tried a couple of Euphyllia torch species

and have not had much luck mixing them with

hammer & frogspawn species. Oddly enough I’ve

never had problems mixing Euphyllia species with Xenia.

They seem to have no affect on each other.

All the Euphyllia frags in my nc6 are branching species,

so as they grow too large I can just snip off heads & trade them.

Most people are amazed by the Xenia, so I try to keep some in the tank,

but they are hard to keep under control and will over grow other corals.

Xenia can be used as nutrient export just like Chaeto..

I also use Xenia to monitor water quality, since I never test the water.

If they stop pumping, it’s time for a water change.

Hi, great looking tank, and the perfect mod in my opinion. I was just wondering what the "Rules of the Aquarium" are, on the side of the stand?
