Can I have that whole room?... lol looks awesome
Too weak. You want the 45 or 55 watt version.
SantaMonica, those leds would be for scrubber, are you sure about it?
Those LEDs are a waste of money for scrubbers. Many have tried. 12" x 12" and 14 watts on 225 LEDs. NOt only would you need a huge screen, it would be severely underpowered.
Floyd, so for my setup ( 2 clowns, some corals in 17G), would you recommend a 2 sided light with 3 leds of 3W?
The total power would be 18W, 9W each side.(Cree Leds)
And Floyd, do you recommend any "ready led light" for scrubber?Like from Ebay or AliExpress....
Thanks.
it all depends on your screen size. I really doubt you're going to exceed 1 cube/day in a 17g tank. So you're talking a 3x4 screen with 2 or 3 660nm Deep Reds on each side. No crees, those are 630nm - they don't make a 660. You need Philips Luxeon for those.
There are many options for the light source, bottom line is that you don't need that much. You might be able to do one of those PAR lamps that has a bunch of 1W LEDs. But honestly for such a small tank, you would be a good candidate for the HOG scrubber that Santa Monica makes.
ok, so I got the stand now...
here it is:
The surface area of the stand is 40cm x 40cm.
So my dimensions would be 40x40x55cm, giving me 88 liters or 22 gallons.
For circulation I was thinking in a closed loop, using 1 hole for suction, and 2 for distribution, making hole in both tubes to be as close to this as possible:
So, what advice for pump can you guys give me?
considering a return pump divided in 2, plus the closed loop.(In my other aquarium my principal pump F*** with my substrate, so I'm afraid with huge power)
My little sump would be limited to the size of 35cm x 35cm. I'm studying a way to make a nice scrubber that fit in this dimensions, and would have easy maintenance.
In this moment I'm looking for heatsinks for my scrubber, so my ATS will be limited to the heatsink I find.
For filtration I'm thinking in Scrubber, A. Carbon, and Perlon (Particles filtration).
I'm quitting skimmer because of the limited size.
Well I of course think you should have a UAS scrubber and let it be your circulation too. No water pumps needed.
Santa, I didn't understand what you said...
my scrubber would stay in sump, and about circulation I said about the return pump from sump.
