D&C 4ft Tank

Emm.... I can see you are just running a single Tunze Stream... is that the Stream 6100? If yes, how do you like the current of just running 1 Stream? I suppose your LPS prefer it this way... can see from the way the Prata opens up

it is just 6000 . running on interval 2 on the multicontroller from 30-60%

[yvoneysl]

Bro in your opinion, will the 6000 cause sand storm in 100% flow?

Nope... I have 2 Stream 6000 running in my tank (alongside return, flushing system & Nano 6025)... 6000 will not create sand storm if you are not using grade 0 sand.

added a tunze 6100 on the left hand side

for the refugium light. wouldnt it be better to make a reflector?

sorry how to do that ?

[godzillaliu88]

ok. can try using a can. those instant food cans or soft drink cans.

cut it open. cut into 2 halfs. you will have 2 curve pieces of metals.

can use glue or tape to stick the metal reflector on the bulb.

hope it works.

sorry bro what is the purpose of it ?

[godzillaliu88]

to help the light to be more focus. so that your refegium is brighter.

otherwise why would a 150w buld need a MH?

thanks bro for the coke can suggestion

[chercm]

Refugium in action....

recycling a coke can to act as reflector and making full use of Aquatronica level capability to make sure that the water will never over flow

gotten Grotech Magnesium pro from AM to make sure my magnesium is also in check

here is my CR with Magnesium pro in action :
