GOSKN5 November 16, 2015 Author Share November 16, 2015 I'm back on T5 and have pretty much decided that's what I'm going with... 6 bulb enough or do I need 8 bulb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epleeds November 16, 2015 Share November 16, 2015 I would go 8 just because of the depth, plus the extra cost is minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKN5 November 17, 2015 Author Share November 17, 2015 (edited) Rocks up close.. should have nice space for corals and good caves and depth for fish... And a side note... wasn't sure if the low iron glass was worth it or not.. totally worth it.. clarity is awesome, can't even tell there is glass there...

GOSKN5 November 19, 2015 Author Share November 19, 2015 adding these guys for flow... should be able to basically hide them behind the rocks on the overflow... never had Tunze before... interested to see how they stack up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCReefer1964 November 19, 2015 Share November 19, 2015 Cant go wrong with Tunze Bro !!!! OMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKN5 November 20, 2015 Author Share November 20, 2015 And here is the reason I wanted to try these little tunze powerheads.. picture of the tank after I put them in If ya look close enough you can see the cords, which will be more visible when I add a real light to the tank... but the fact that you can't see the actual pump is what I was after... although I'm not 100% sold on the flow yet... have to see it with some corals to move around...

GOSKN5 November 21, 2015 Author Share November 21, 2015 Ordered a hydra 26 HD... got it in yesterday. Pretty sweet light, although the app isn't working for me. Was able to program it with my surface for now. Light stand looks better than I anticipated and the wife approved Gonna likely need another hydra when things are in and growing... maybe t5 retro if can figure out a way to get on the light stand without looking too bad... Also ammonia dropped to about .50.. and I detected nitrites for the first time.. so they cycle is moving... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why this is not a more popular option. Everything is very clean on this setup, hanging light would compliment that, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKN5 November 23, 2015 Author Share November 23, 2015 I'm with ya... wife is 100% against it haha.. thus why I have this light stand on top my clean sleek rimless tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08can-am November 23, 2015 Share November 23, 2015 I say hang it and see if it really bothers her. Easier to get forgiveness than permission Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, why is she against it? She must have a reason. I can send you pictures of all my larger tanks that you can show her how easy it is (all rentals also!)

GOSKN5 November 23, 2015 Author Share November 23, 2015 Hahaha u don't know my wife... she has been really involved with the tank too.. don't wanna mess that up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08can-am November 23, 2015 Share November 23, 2015 I bet she'd appreciate the rimless look more if she walked in and it were hanging. (: Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKN5 November 23, 2015 Author Share November 23, 2015 Haha not gonna push my luck man... maybe when I add the 2nd hydra... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowieReefer84 November 23, 2015 Share November 23, 2015 It looks good man. Don't listen to all these guys. I really like it. Just watch out to keep that floor looking nice. I always ends up with a pile of "stuff" around my tank. That's what the wife hates more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilRams November 23, 2015 Share November 23, 2015 I agree about the mounting. It keeps drawing my attention to it instead of the tank which looks awesome. I want all the focus on the tank so I went with these for Kessil and Radions I have had in the past. While my current lights are hung (MH) this is bar far the cleanest setup. No cords in sight! Install is easy as well. http://www.reeflightmounts.com/hydra-26-mount-hydra-52-mount.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKN5 November 24, 2015 Author Share November 24, 2015 You guys gave me the ammunition I needed.. talked her into it haha... ordered the hanging kit for the AI rail last night haha... I wanted to keep the AI mount because I plan to add a second hydra as the funds are available and tank gets to growing etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
