Fido19's 60 gallon rebuild

[toytech]

Just my opinion but i would ditch the hang on filters because i would be scared of them filling with crud and go with the mp40(or something with similar flow) and just shoot for lots of random flow .With the open rock work and lots of flow ,thats the best biological filter . I was using alot of rock and 2 koralia 1400 in my 55 with too many fish and nitrates and phosphates never went over 0 and i got great growth from my zoas , acans and other corals.

true they can collect a lot of crap, but thats where your maintenance comes into play, I had an ac70 on my 16 gallon, and cleaned it when I did water changes never had any issues

i am still looking into the flow thing

koralias work great (and are cheap) and run quiet and the new ones can be used with a wavemaker suposedly

does anyone have any idea as to how much a nice led set would cost me from modular led
i would really like to make something for my tank led based if anyone has any ideas or can tell me what kind of package to get it would be amazing
getiing a vertex went out the window today
so now looking at radions and ai sols
but i would really like a diy project

hey if anyone wants the marineland leds i will trade them for a digital aquatics controller l1 and some frags
it has to be done locally in burnaby

also take note about 6 leds dont work they are not broken or anything its just the adaptor is wrong

not a bad price. you'd also need a way to hang them too
mind you if you want dimmable leds (which you most likely will)
you would add about $180 or so to that price. so all the sudden
your looking at over $700 with shipping. they are cool leds though

then lenses adds more to the cost, not 100% necessary, but good to have
