Hey guys!
As some of you might have seen in another thread I bought a house this past week. I have been given a brand new never been used 2.4x0.9x0.8m tank. This tank was constructed extremely badly so we will cut it apart for the move – those Phunky guys built a rather Phunny tank… anyway… So I want to use the tank as a room divider and I need some input.
A friend of mine got given a load of AM equipment that was running on a 2.2m tank for the last 6 months or so. He said I can use them to run my tank till I get around to buying things like the Reef Octo skimmer etc.
I need some input on running a closed loop – shall I put one under the rocks as well as from the top? I also really like those Polario pumps – temped to run two of them on a closed loop around the bottom of the tank… I guess the 80 000l/h ones will do for a 1800L display tank. How high must the 50mm holes be drilled on the “head” ends of the tank? Should there be some sort of cover over the in/outlets of the Polario CLS?
Right lighting… age old battle – MH vs T5s? Cost of replacing 5 bulbs a year vs replacing 32 T5s once a year vs initial installation cost? What’s your take on it?
Anyway - I have a meeting with the interior guy and the landscaping woman now. Please post your thoughts….
