cal3v Posted January 27, 2003 Author Share Posted January 27, 2003 Lit by a 175w 10kk ushio, supp. w/ 2 x 28w pc 03 actinics. Flow is an empty aquaclear 300 with carbon ran in it, two 301 powerheads, 1 214 powersweep powerhead, and I also run a prizm skimmer. I have my dosing numbers on the second page of this thread, I dose kalk and reef advantage calcium and alk in the form of baking soda in powder form dissolved in water. I am not sure how much I spent, mostly I trade with reefers, and those sps grow and what not so I don't spend too much out of my own pocket. Figure those sps colonies are around $30 or $40 a piece, frags around $15, same with the ricordia per each polyp, and zoo colonies etc it all adds up. Link to comment
MacnReef Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Cool, did you build your own canopy? Do you have any pics of it. I am in the process of building mine now and I have a 250W 14K halide with 2-55W 03 bulbs that I may use. Any suggestions? Link to comment
cal3v Posted January 28, 2003 Author Share Posted January 28, 2003 I have a built hanging light, its only a reflector and bracing so its ugly. I have a parabolic reflector with the two pc's one on each side of the mh. Link to comment
