At least if you don't put water in it, you won't need to worry about how your going to light it. hahahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowieReefer84 September 21, 2012 Author Share September 21, 2012 LED's for a fish only tank.....why not just go PC Picked up a nice DIY a guy retrofitted into an old PC housing. 30 led's of different spectrums, and only cost me $50. Probably performs just as well as a $950 radium. haha At some point I am sure a coral or two will find their way into the tank, and I can upgrade lights then. $50 is the cost of a couple T5's...

trockafella September 21, 2012 Share September 21, 2012 I think LED is great for FOWLR. You get the nice shimmer of halides with the heat. Especially a nice smaller unit like the one he is going to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like this fixture for simplicity. Here it is: 20120923_203629 by mteske1, on Flickr 20120923_203619 by mteske1, on Flickr 20120923_203608 by mteske1, on Flickr 20120923_203535 by mteske1, on Flickr Keep in mind it's resting on the front brace. Centered over the tank about 8" off the surface it provides full coverage. On a side note, the sump is filled and tank is almost filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swffan September 24, 2012 Share September 24, 2012 At this pace, by the time you get fish in there LED lights will have been replaced with newer technology! .... joking looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowieReefer84 September 25, 2012 Author Share September 25, 2012 At this pace, by the time you get fish in there LED lights will have been replaced with newer technology! .... joking looks great! The goal for the first fish is Jan 1st '13. I want to give the tank plenty of time to cycle (3 months). I just moved into a new house and figure I will be here 8+ years or so, and with that in mind I am not rushing anything. I will start dosing microbacter 7 early next week, and start a log book of ammonia/trites/trates for the next couple months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should just cycle for like 3 weeks and then add like 20 fish. It would be totally awesome.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
