    230 Gallon CO2 setup

    Thanks for that Tom the filter is a modular sump system which is in another room with very little surface movement to prevent gas off and the return is done with two return pumps which between them will provide around 12,000lph. Is there a better system for a tank of this size with regards to...

    T5 Lighting for 8ft x 2ft x 2ft

    Sounds good Ed the filter will be in a different location but will be used as a sump filter still being fed by weirs. The filter is non fluidised and will be fed under gravity with a pump back. The jap matting we use in a different configuration so that the dirt still gets caught but the water...

    T5 Lighting for 8ft x 2ft x 2ft

    T5 Lighting for 8ft x 2ft x 2ft

    Hi Ed. The filter will be one of the Kockney Koi units as we have a few damaged ones lying around I can fix up which saves quite a bit. The problem with them is that they have internal baffles arranged which force the water through each chamber and its keeping the pump fed that would be a...

    T5 Lighting for 8ft x 2ft x 2ft

    The tank was originally going to be used as a reef tank but had enough of marines and the tank is on order already. Surely the addage that a bigger tank is easier to set parameters etc. still holds true?. Have a 10 x 2 x 2 in the shop where I work :D. Cheers

    T5 Lighting for 8ft x 2ft x 2ft

    Hi Ed yeah they are fantastic only problem I have is the flow as the maximum the 5000 unit will sope with is around the 6000lph :(. The boss indoors says 10000 filter is too big can't see the problem with it personally only seen foot long. Thanks Dave

    T5 Lighting for 8ft x 2ft x 2ft

    Excellent want to make sure I get right from the start rather than blunder along as I go :D . The vortex has now been thrown out the window and a bigger unit without a vortex will now be used so should avoid CO2 loss through that. Had a hunch that the dawn/dusk scenario might help with CO2...

    T5 Lighting for 8ft x 2ft x 2ft

    Thats what I was thinking have a range of pumps I can use so was thinking of using a 12,000 litre per hour pump which will have around the 9,000 lph mark when head etc taken into account. Also thinking of having several entry points from the sump possibly at different levels?. The sump is a...

    T5 Lighting for 8ft x 2ft x 2ft

    Hi thanks for the advice so far halide not an option unfortunately due to the heat had 2 x 150W on a 5ft marine tank and heat and noise etc was way too much can mount ballasts etc remotely so not a problem with heat or noise from them just from the tubes themselves. Thanks Dave

    T5 Lighting for 8ft x 2ft x 2ft

    Hi planning a 8ft x 2ft x 2ft tank planted. T5 lighting will be used and a dimmable ballast system for a natural dawn to dusk cycle. This tank was originally going to be a reef tank but the cost of replacing 24 T5 tubes every 6 months put that out the window so said the boss lady lol...
