Can show a photo of the dripping method of feeding marine snow? Do you need to store the bottle of marine snow in refrigerator? Thanks.

Hi Alvin,

May I know your reason and purpose of choosing a retrofit 4xT5 lightset? Due to price?size? or others?

hmmz..as far as i noe..the retrofits are more expensive then some of the t5 HOs arnd......

the main concern is the ventilation problem and the distance of the tube spreaded out....

i notice those ready made ones, their tubes are so close to each other...retrofits can also use those reflectors that do a gd job....

hope this helps...

Yep, fully agreed with you Alvin. That's why after 1yr, I still pondering which is better haha! Heat is really a main issue. Also the light spread and reflector problem. Ya loh, don't know why retrofit are more expensive? But most retrofit are juz resting on the tank right and there isn't any light stand?

Alvin is it possible to show a photo of your full light set resting on the tank?

So far I onli found the closeup view of the retrofit. BTW what is the width of your retrofit? What tubes are you using now?

Thanks for the infos.

Maybe you should consider splitting and starting a new thread with the new bb tank now.
