Addition of the frag tank

Any fixture that will accept a regular bulb will work just long as the fixture is open. The LED's put off a lot of heat so need to be well ventilated. As far as how many you need my tank is 16x20 and I would say 2 is minimum on it. I think down the road I will add one more. You could get one with a wider angle optic but you will not get the par you want if you are trying to stretch it over a bigger tank. With the narrow optics I have it concentrates the light and penetrates through the water much better. And for hanging I would not let the cord suspend it because these lights are heavy so I would say try and attach the fixture to something.

 

Updated shots of the frag tank.  Also gone through a few changes but I am happy with it...for now /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/wink.gif

 

I painted it with krylon but its a pain sense there is so many sides that need painted. I may order a black sheet of it from bulk reef supply a replace this one because I notice some white spots

 

There are just 1 1/2 pvc connectors that I used krylon on. And yes this is connected to a skimmer. It is actually plumbed into my entire system which I am running an Octopus 110 DNWB which is an external skimmer.

 

Quick shot of this sense I had the camera out

 

Seem to be doing pretty good! This summer I am playing with the idea of doing a basic tank for them under natural sunlight. Going to do some more research before I do it but I have always had a green thumb so hoping it should not be too bad.

 

Its a ric with some rubble. Hoping it will get attached
