xofinnocent Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Well im almost finished setting up my 2.5gal/(1.25gal display) system. Its a 2.5 glass tank with a built in filter and sump. Its over kill i know but thats not the issue- right now i have 1 50/50 13 watt pc over the sump, and 2 13 watt lights over the diplay part- you think this is too much light? Il lookign to keep mainly softies- xenia, starpolyps, zoo's Link to comment
Nishant3789 Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 no such thing as too much light just unnecasery light. itll be fine imo only thing is heat? shouldnt be a problem if u use a fan or sumthing but then u fgotta do topoffs etc. kinda a pain oh well hth nishant Link to comment
NanoReefer53 Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Heck, i'd probably go for 4x13 Link to comment
Nishant3789 Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 why? if hes only planning on doing softies mainly then he wouldnt really need the extra light, i say make taht 50-50 over the sump a 65k and make the sump a Fuge. thatd be cooll..... nishant Link to comment
xofinnocent Posted February 1, 2003 Author Share Posted February 1, 2003 well the "sump" is a fuge, lol thats why i have 2 - 2 for the main tank , and a 3rd for the fuge that is sectioned off cause it runs 24/7 Link to comment

xofinnocent Posted February 1, 2003 Author Share Posted February 1, 2003 holding out... yes. You guys see... not so much, yet. Link to comment
Vish Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 I notice that you do not have reflectors. That probably means half of the light that you have.... Link to comment
Nishant3789 Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 not nessacerily remember, white is the colour or shade or abcence of colour or w.e u want to call it taht reflects all light. so if u think about it it really IS a relfector though the difference between white and a mirror is taht a mirror reflects back more waves than he white color. nishant Link to comment
