Darth's Reefer 250 Tank Build...

[Bob Weigant]

Lost it after 4 days. Eating and swimming like a champ. Another buddy of mine lost his about 2 months after I did. Im guessing a strong parasite

Nice display and good job on the basement build, looks fantastic and functionable I currently have a Hybrid with 2 360's and planning to go with 3 xr15 on a 48" tank, but after seeing this I may pick up another.

As you know, I am thinking of a Hybrid Fixture as well. On the other hand 3 Radion XR 15's may be more than enough light.... Anyone have thoughts on that??

 

[siggy]

I am by no means a expert on anything, but I gotta say T5's completely blanket the tank with light. I had a coraline bloom right after I installed mine. I rarely run all 4 bulbs(see my hybrid mod thread) I run 1 blue plus & 1 actinic and my kessels at 75% all day and if I remember just the kessils in the evening to see the colors. If you could mount a bulb on each side of the RMS rack that would be more than enough.

Gorgeous tank. Do you set your powerheads to 100%

 

[DarthSimon]

No, the MP40 is at 25-30, and the 2 MP10's are 60-80 percent....

 

[DarthSimon]

My Acros and SPS love the flow!!!!

I don't understand. Here you say you run Vortechs but on your Youtube channel you have a video of an Apex WAV on your tank?
