kien's 150g Room Divider Mixed Reef & Stuff

[superduperwesman]

Why not just have the tanks separate? You have 2 return pumps anyway. Isn't the fowlr just going to increase your nutrients and make it harder to maintain you the levels in your mixed reef? I'm assuming it's mainly to ease you water changes b/c your tank is in the middle of your main floor but why not just implement your sump with water change section on both tanks? I guess you'd also need another skimmer but don't or didn't you already have one?

Don't get me wrong. Love the tank! And you're far better reefer than I'll ever be but just a few things that came to mind

Kien, how do you like your powermodule?

Do you like it better than your MH's?

Thanks in advance!

I like the powermodule. It is a slick fixture and puts out a lot of light. To be honest though I am a halide fan as I do tend to miss the shimmer from it.. But then all I have to do is turn my head to the 150 reef. It is neat seeing them literally side by side because they both produce a completely different look. The halides are a sharp penetrating light while the T5s are more of a soft enveloping light. Well, that's how I see it anyway In the end it just boils down to which one you prefer.
