If you like Craige I could come have a look and we could talk about solutions to put leds in :)

 

[leodb89]

thats a good offer?

if not post up some pics of your hood...theres a way with every hood :)

 

[craige]

funds dont allow for LEDS atm lol im looking at making a custom hood either out of timber or aluminum not sure how the aluminum as salt water would work together and weather it would affect water parameters. im well aware of electrolysis with saltwater and aluminum.

 

[craige]

leo you yourself sent me a good link for a bloke that pulled all the guts out of his hood and rewired it with leds dont know if i want to go that far atm not sure i will post the link here so you can see what i mean

my cyano problem is almost sorted out my hermit has been hard at work mowing it all down seems he decided to shed and not clean my tank :mad:

 

[craige]

just wondering what a ball park figure would be for flow from a wave maker currently i have 1 aqua one 8000lph wave maker but im looking at upgrading to a tunze or similar what do people recommend and how many was thinking of getting 2 so i can try avoid the dead spots i my tank

 

[MagicJ]

If you are looking at the controllable Tunze, I would suggest 2 x 6055's - these are rated for 1,000 - 5,500 l/h each.

@VaultBoy has 2 of these in a 200l (??) tank I think.

 

[MTG]

For your size I would personally go two mp10 vortechs, or if you want tunze go two 6055 and controller

 

[VaultBoy]

I have 2 x 6055's in my 200L tank and they are great. They run up to 70% - 80% pulses and give me quite a high flow through out the tank. If they were any higher there would just be a sand storm.
