Truvu 180 gallon questions

osofishy · Feb 10, 2012

Hi everybody,

I want to thank everybody in advance for their opinions and informations. I just bought a 180 gallon acrylic tank and was wondering will the acrylic on top of the tank affect the lighting as far as PAR and etc. I want to keep a reef tank because I've already have a 90 gallon reef tank that is glass and I want to transfer it to the 180. I'm thinking of LED lighting when I set the 180 acrylic tank up. I'm looking at Ecotech radion for now. I know I have more question but this is it for now.

THANKS.

Yes it can effect it and you can also crack the braces if you are not careful. How much of the top is covered?

I can't post any pictures but it is the same one that Truvu have on their website. The 180 long, 72x24x24. Do you think I or get somebody who know what they're doing to cut out some of the acrylic without ruining the integrity of the brace?
