300g setup feedback (pic)

[srbayless]

Howdy again,

Cool skimmer! I have a CS6-3 on my 180g and it kicks butt. Anyway, how do the 400w 20000K bulbs look. I was using 175w coralife 20000K on my 80g, and they were just too dim. I replaced them with 10000K and have never regretted it.

I have heard the 400w version of the bulbs are better, but I can't say for sure. I have found most owener of large tanks (over 200g) use the 400w Iwasaki bulbs. They really light up the tank and make sure any light-loving clams on the substrate get enough light.

Cool setup, keep the updates coming,

Scott.

I't all looks pretty nice except for the underwear on the floor

Really nice. Did you say that this tank will be moved to a store? Please show us what it looks like when it has been set-up where you plan on keeping it!

Unfortunately, larger systems - mine is 600gal - don't eliminate temp swings but rather slow them down so that the tank temp will lag behing the air temp by several days to a week. You will still have to heat and cool the tank.

The heat/cooling is an issue. But I would also be concerned with the detergents/fabric softeners being so close to the tank. It all will add to your airborn pollutants.

Beautiful tank.
Good Luck,

Dan
