THE Tank Build By Aqua Digital

well for a bit of fun as we are all in summer mode right now, I thought I would take the thread a bit on a side track for the month of August.

So welcome to the Aqua Digital 19,000 Gallon_______________ POOL BUILD

No we have not won the lottery, no I have not sold the wife (Hmmm?) actually sold my beloved boat as little miss 18 month old screams the place down every time she saw it. My instincts tells me Mum programmed her to react like this so Mum could have her childhood dream of a pool!

34x16'10 x7.5

Next photo will not be until after the 16th August when the earth movers move in.

I planned to run the pool on a ProfiLux outdoor, but due to the dual voltage the pool required I decided it was not the best option. But fear not I have Matthias's attention on developing a ProfiLux Pool controller, and I have no doubts this will come

For now back to the tank build thread but more on this project as it gets going.

I'd still highly recommend some cross-bracing! Give the kids something to dive under and jump off lol.

Hi there,

I had a question on your AI fixtures, how do you like the colour produced by them? Also, how do you find the coverage?

I'm considering a single AI fixture over my 33 gallon (36 long by 12 front to back). I would have it turned so the fixtures length was parallel to the tank (sideways from the conventional method) My concerns are dark corners on the bottom (I don't need to grow SPS on the bottom corners but I don't want them dark) and the loss of the red and green spectrum causing some corals to look terrible

Cheers

Hi

You would need two units, one would not do it on 36" in fact even two would be pushing it unless you raised the lamps to a good 24" off the water, but as you do not need huge Par then you may get away with this.

The colour is good, I cant say I am the best expert in the field, I can only say what I see from previous lamps (T5 and HO) and that is they more than match my expectations.
