Lighting on my Aquaria

I am converting all of my tanks to LED. In my 8 foot 240 gallon tank, I have seven Aqua Illumination SOL Blue lights which are controlled by a Profilux controller. In my 350 gallon 30 inch deep tank I am using 3 Pacific Sun fixtures, again controlled with Profilux.

Calcium Supplementation

I formerly used aquacare calcium reactors. However I am converting to dosing 3 part with a GHL slave doser. I selected the slave doser although the tank is Profilux controlled because the dosing vats are in the basement

I use Bubble King Skimmers. I have looked at various brands in the past and settled on these. Present day technology has a lot of other good options that were unavailable at the time I selected what I use now.

I see various posts on reef central about keeping fairy and flasher wrasses in the tank. Let me be very clear: they WILL jump and eggcrate will not keep them in the tank.

I am a big fan of anthias! I have resplendant, carberyi in my two tanks.

Next Step - Upgrade for Future Power Failures

Posted 10/06/2009 at 07:43 AM by slow_leak
