Hi Guys,

My current Lamps are around 14 inches from water surface....

Thinkin of lowering them to 6 inchese from surface to drive in more intensity considering that I'm running 3 x 250 watters for a 5 footer....

Hope this gives me more intense colouration for my acros....

Anyone like to give some comments ???

Get yourself a good reflector and lower to 9inch if you are 2ft wide tank, any lower to 6inch will result in dead spots for the width. BTW, what reflector you are using...R U using 3 X250W BLV?

:P

DIYed spider reflectors......

I'm with 2 x 250W BLV SE for both ends with a Saki 6500 for centre bulb....

hey, did you look at this link about reflector? Spiderlights kinda not good.

Think 9 inches is lowest you can go with it.

hi, was thinking of lowering my lights too..but worried about the heat... any rough gauge how much an inch lower would cause the temperature to increase by? mine is now 13" above with my 250w....

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
