24 Gallon NCDX Pics

That is a ton of light in the tank! Have you considered the 1/10th inline chiller (I forgot the manufacturor's name). That may be right up your alley considering your future needs. I know it is a bit more pricey but it may be worth the extra protection.

Why don't you do a write up mod on the moonlight! I would be very interested in seeing it. If you wanted you could post it in my thread, lol .

Here's the update, I just added the lights tonight.
Here's the actual light added,

This is what the lid looks like with the stock lights and the new ones.

Some of the corals in there.


I'd recommend these if you like looking at your tank at night. I may add another, once I redo my hood this summer.

It look pretty nice!

What is the link to the moon light? or Did you buy it locally?

I think I may follow in your foot steps.

I've got a wholesale account with them, it's quite nice actually. As to the hood, wait until I'm done with my mods, I'm pretty sure I can squeeze 282W into the hood it's about `15W per gallon.

How did you manage this? Do you get deep discounts, lol

Are we talking fire hazard here? I'm jealous already. Make sure to document your build process. It is always nice to look back on when you are finished.

shouldn't be a fire hazard, I'm adding 2 more fans to the hood and the MH will only run 5 hours a day, 2 36W 10,000K daylights and 1 36W50/50 should be enough for the rest of the daylight hours. The 24W will be the actinic I'm hoping it will give the tank enough good color.

But when you're interested I'll show you the 5.5 I've got going, it's the smaller project.
