    Refugium lighting

    12 INCH 9 X 1 WATT 6700K LED PLANTED AQUARIUM LIGHT that is the only other one I found that comes close, but I would still need two I think. :(

    Refugium lighting

    That JBJ light is awesome, only .75" thick! I am going to get two! Do you think two will be enough?

    Refugium lighting

    Yes, the collection cup will be above the lid to the sump, I am going to cut a hole and build another box to go on top of it. My plan was to have the sump it total darkness so that I could control the light cycle better. Unfortunately this is my first time building something like this and...

    Refugium lighting

    On the right side is my skimmer on an eggcrate stand, then I siliconed in three baffles to get rid of microbubbles. After that I have the refugium where I plan on building a "pod box" in the middle, then filling in with live rock and chaeto on top. The pod box will be a roughly 2 gallon...

    Refugium lighting

    Got some pics, you can see why I think I will need LED lighting, though I wish I could just use PC or CFL lights :(

    Refugium lighting

    How are they for heat? (I'm not worried about water temp, it will be at least 7 inches from the water, but it will be in an enclosed wooden box)

    Refugium lighting

    I will take some pictures when I get home today. Right now I am browsing automotive LED running lights, they use 1w LEDs and seem to be pretty low profile.

    Refugium lighting

    It is a standard 55 gallon tank, but I only need to light about 2.5 feet of it. I have the skimmer and the return pump sections separated from the algae grow area.

    Refugium lighting

    Trying to finish up my tank setup to start a cycle and I need some suggestions for lighting my refugium. I have approximately 2-3 inches of space between the top of my refugium and the lid on the box that it is in. I need a light in the correct spectrum range for my chaeto. 6700k yes? Given...

    Cooking live rock?

    I hope so, I picked up some loc line with flat output heads today, now I'm off to Lowe's to buy some pvc to build a return line to attach the loc line to!

    Cooking live rock?

    it goes on the bottom of the tank to support the live rock. It spreads the weight out on the glass instead of just putting the rock on the bottom of the tank, and prevents shifting rocks caused by laying the rock directly on the sand.

    Cooking live rock?

    The rock had completely dried out in my garage, but then my room mate decided he was going to buff/polish/whatever his car so I moved it out to prevent getting chemicals all over it. It is now sitting in some lightly salted(to keep it from freezing) water in a tub by my back door. Tank is...

    Over Flows?

    The upturned elbow outside of the overflow box would only be a backup drain incase the main line is blocked. The main drain would still be in an overflow box which would be skimming of the top layer. What would you suggest for a strainer? plastic mesh of some sort?

    Just navigating straight there, wont work.

    Over Flows?

    I have another question about overflows. I have two holes drilled on my 75g with 1" bulkheads. one hole will be my primary drain, and the other will (hopefully) be my backup drain. I was planning on putting in a 90 degree elbow facing up to near the top of the tank (above the water level)...
