ntec Posted March 1, 2007 Wow very impressive. Must get pretty warm in that room with those lights. Quote Link to comment
simbio Posted March 4, 2007 Thank you guys. Each tank is about 100 gallons - for now, only 4 tanks, but eventually I will have 12. The 2 sumps have 150 gallon capacity each. They are filled with live rock and chaeto - kind of a giant semi-refugium, with two "becket" protein skimmers. It doesn't get very warm in the room, even in the summer time. I like it there - it is my indoor Heaven, since I have two large skylights, as well. Quote Link to comment
wow_it_esploded Posted March 7, 2008 8 metal halides. at $275 each (that is including a replacement bulb) that equals: 8 x 275 = $2200. WOWZAS! But I guess you will earn it back with all of the coral frags you have the possibility of selling. Wow, I just realized that once you have 12 tanks, you will have $13200 invested in lighting and will be pulling 7200 watts of electricity just for lights! Quote Link to comment
