Actually that's a very interesting idea... as long as the panels can power my chiller... I will be more than happy :lol: Anyway solar panels on rooftops will become a reality (and norm) in the coming 5 years or so (my prediction) :eyebrow:

should be able to power more then just your chiller.

can plug your lights onto it also. juz gotta depend how big a battery u got to store the converted power. haha.

hi bro jervis, u might want to look at John H. Tullock's "Natural Reef Aquariums" book which according to a review looks at the theory of less technology, more biology. It provides step-by-step formulas for creating miniature reef aquaria that are simpler, cheaper, healthier, and truer to nature's own system. This book is an excellent choice for beginners and highly recommended for any reefkeeper to have in their reference library.

If you can create smth that is all natural and cheaper.. hohoho... :bow::bow::bow:

i borrowed that book off the shelf in a library.

not bad a book, it contains useful informations. recommended by me as well. ;)

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Here's how my Sump 2 looks like now... with some fish and rocks from my main tank... the Black Tang and PBT are inside because the reefer who reserved it can't collect them on the day I decommissioned the tank... therefore no choice have to put them in here and canceled the sales... plenty of micro and macro algae to feed the 2 Tangs here :rolleyes:
