changed out XM to 'saki

[dakar]

Looks fantastic to me as well. I really need to get through the holidays and get the canopy built so I can ditch the PC's and get the saki's going here.

How big is the 'new' tank?

Why ditch the pc's... IMO, no such thing as too much light on a reef. Why not use 'em to enhance the actinics and/or the dusk-dawn effect???

thanks,the new tank is a 40 breeder,basically the same size as my 30 but i'll have 18" of width now instead of 12".Should make for a more spacious aquascape and allow me to have more room for my T5's and MH reflector in my canopy,not to mention better gas exchange.Its getting drilled and fitted with an overflow in the back corner.

Good deal Dave, no more messing with overflow boxes and stuff... oughta make life easier.

I meant ditch them as the primary light source is all, tossing the 10K's... gonna hack apart the fixture and take the guts to retrofit them into the canopy using either blue or actinics bulbs. Big plans, low cash flow right now...

I would go with the PC blues in the parabolic reflectors from ahsupply.They will make your PC's just as bright as the T5's IME.The act03's dont hold up against the 'sakis IMO.Besides the PC blue peaks@450nm which will compliment the 'saki well
