Blueheaven's 4ft Tank

Recommended Posts

Been running the MD55 for the second day and i conclude that it is too strong to be a return pump. It made ripple lines even with my PLs and created little whirlpools at the corners.

Anyway, can anyone tell me how you guys manage to keep the sandbed levelled even with a Tunze (lets say 6060)? Its flowrate is even higher than the MD!!!

Now because of internal currents, the sand from the sides are moved to create hills and valleys in the middle. :lol::lol:

Here's an insight on my intended lighting system

2x250w Ushio 10k

4x24w Aquaz T5 Blue Pro

According to a discussion in RC, the best combination of lighting for SPS in terms of growth and health is a 10k bulb to 2 T5 Blueplus to fill in the 450nm spectrum.

It is said that this setup will provide a really full spectrum light with CRI index of 90-95 depending on the bulbs used.

Will be setting up a 80% SPS dominated tank so I will have to consider providing the best environment I can for the corals :lol::lol:

Update on overflow

Current drop is at 2inches and there is a splashing sound. Anyone can tell me how to raise the water level in the overflow?

Come to think of it, the splashing other than creating a lot of bubbles, it actually adds a naturalistic feel to the tank!!! :lol::lol::lol:
