I have made the decision to get the glass cut for a 8' x 2' x 2' INSIDE DIMENSIONS.........roughly a little shy of 240 gals.
Not sure on the sump yet but it will be a much better design then my 165. After my wife seen pics of Mike' 8'er in Manitoba she wants me to build a complete wall unit that will be 12' long x 8' tall. I have a skimmer I really like, 2 MR1 reactors for Vertex Bio Pellets & Carbon, Profilux 2ex controller, probes, power bars & doser & more then enough pumps to provide mass flow but................
My biggest decision is going to be lighting........I would like to go with LED's but don't know much about them. How many LED's would I need? Do I DIY or buy fixtures? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. |
if its going to be in a wall or have a canopy over it i would DIY and save a ton of cash. you have a profilux so you could use dimmable drivers and a ledcontrol4 module and get the same lighting effects. you can everything from rapid led aside from the ghl module. hell, progressive might even be able to get you everything
