Hi everyone. First time @ 3reef

Thanks for the compliment coral reefer.
Yes those are BTA's. Rosy and Sparkle

I found the green tip reddish bulb one at a LFS priced very reasonable. I thought it might have been a mistake since the color combo looked very exotic and uncommon. So I got it right away. Even the cashier was surprised at the price. I was the first one in the store the day after Xmas, so the place was empty. I had my pick of corals that day

Welcome. Great pix

 

Welcome, welcome, welcome! Sweet tank!

 

thanks APC & Craig Manoukian , great to be here.

I'm still trying to find a way to hook up my 175MH to my nano. any suggestions? It from my retrofit canopy from my 50g.

 

I would hang it like a pendent from piano wires fron the ceiling. This will minimize overheating.

 

Welcome, great looking tank

 

Welcome to 3reef!
Nice tank!
IMO stay away from the Jebo skimmer. I did not have success with it compared to the Seaclone, Bak Pak and Red Sea. I t will be worth your while.

 

Thanks Vamp75 & gawlowski 8)
I hope to maintain it that way. I notices I need to use my magnetic scrubber more often now a days. Even with my 20% water changes a week. I really need to hook up a skimmer, but don't want to ruin the clean look of the nano. I might try to just hang on a skimmer at night.

I thought of that, but not sure if my wife will approve. But it might not look too bad. I already have my single ended Hamilton 175watt MH in my retrofit hood just sitting around. Is it easy (an inexpensive) to incorporate that into a pendant using my existing ballast? I also have to consider leaving the built-in canope open that houses stock PC.

 

You could build some feet to hold the fixture above your tank or hang the fixture from the ceiling. Either way leave a good 6 - 10" between lights and tank.
