(they are all along the same price range) 1. BLV 14000ºK 2. Coralvue 20000ºK 3. XDE 15000ºK As for the T5: 1. D-D Actinic Plus T5 Tube 2. D-D Aquablue Plus T5 Tube 3. T5 Coralvue Actinic-03 Lamp (half price compared to D-D) Thanks in advance i would suggest BLV 14000k 2x1.5x1.5 tank Lighting: AI hydra 52HD Skimmer: Deltec SC 1455 Reactor: Minimax; rowaphos Skimz ; NP biopellets Wave Maker: MP 40 WQD Return pump: Eheim 1262 Chiller: Arctica 1/10 hp A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel -- Proverbs 12:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jervismun Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 Whay dont you try just T5 lights ATI have one powermodul called 10x39watt ATI T5 currently out of stock... we do encounter problems like that... according to Aqua Medic distributor, shipments from Europe get delayed occasionally... so I guess the situation will be different over in Sweden You are using Coralvue MH right?

jervismun Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 I would go for Blue-eyes Anthias too .... Buy lah, buy lah. Maybe we can buy together coz 12 Blue-eye Anthias are a little too much bio-load for a new tank (in a single introduction). Perhaps u wanna take some? Have to wait a while though... need to make sure the new tank is ready before adding additional bio-load... and Anthias are real bio generators Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jervismun Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 I've opened up the Aqua Medic Phosphatfilter box... and I find pieces of plastics?!? lol Seriously, I think this product is very well priced (for slightly higher than $120), still dunno where it was made... but the built quality is good. Comes fully loaded with Antiphos. Will get another piece to fill with Carbolit. According to LFS, we can actually fill 50% Carbolit and 50% Antiphos into the same container. But u will end up having to change them more frequently = higher maintenance... and potential wastage as they might not wear off at the same frequency. For those interested in getting 2 pieces, advice I got from LFS is to buy 2 Phosphatfilters, buy a pack of Carbolit. As the price of Antiphos is much higher than Carbolit. The extra Antiphos can keep for next round... wicked Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jervismun Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 helloIn my percula 90 i just runt the hole internsump without the spong and trickelfilter I think this dosent work good and probebly make som nitrate in the spong/trickelfilter I haved made one own wavebox and it realy nice to see the wave at the top and the corals waves. But i took it away becouse it take alots of place and it´s realy ugly to have this box. I just want a clean tank and no seen of pumps etc Guys... after learning that bro Wrang made a lot of mods to his Percula 90 along the way... sorta keeps me thinking... is the system design flawed?!? Err... this is definitely not a good way to start since the tank has not even been delivered to me yet! But that's the price to pay for not following the majority So, before the tank arrives... I'm thinking of making good use of the tank back compartments and turn in around to enhance its performance... Will be posting some plans in the coming hours... please do help me decide on something u think works best for the longer term. Important note: I am not a fickle-minded person... but when the owner of The Tank of the Month in Sweden says something... I really should give it serious thoughts...

jervismun Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Yes!!! My Solite Type 3 has arrived!!! 2 x 150W MH + 2 x 39W T5 Personally, I think the light fixture is quite well built (as first glance)... let's take a closer look at it... shall we? The centre portion of the fixture (MH line) consists of slot-in/moveable pieces of anodized aluminium sheets and decently thick protective glass panels.
