Night Howler Frag Tank Build

[F i s h y]

Latex for sure.

Do you have the ability to spray the paint? A $16 hvlp cup gun from harbor freight on an air compressor is what I normally use.

Brushing/rolling will take FOREVER.

Remember to also paint inside the cabinet.

Def do inside of cabinet

So we got latex killz primer and rustoleum high gloss. Awesome. What would did you all use to skin the exterior and interior what type of wood? Something with a smoother finish. Going to def. Paint the interior as well as skin it all enclosed minus the back going to have the side without the cabinet removable to get access to overflow drain area....

Been slowly increasing the lighting for all the acros and overall for everything in the tank. I have been increasing the white and blue spectrums and must say the white lighting has really grown on me. Being able to see everything clearly has also helped spot possible problem areas and overall has increased the activity of the fish still have yet to see a negative effect on anything in the tank so will continue to slowly increase til i do....also wanted some input what do yall have your fuge lights like reds greens blues whites? What have you all seen a good growth with for macro?

 

[N1tew0lf1212]

Well its been awhile and some good and some bad has happened. Came to the relizationg my lighting was extremely low and since ive been raising have seen a huge diff. In corals. Lost the moster due to the lights im pretty sure....but have since corrected got a trachy up front loving life and picked up a huge hairy mushroom for a steal....grabbed a few frags of burning banana to see possible par output and have been increasing slowly for the lights.... im up almost 30% from what i was running....but things are looking pretty good. Have been having alk and cal consumption so dosing to meet those daily levels for stability. Things are growing and things are looking healthy....

Do you have a par meter?

Nope and the club local to me only passes it between like 4 people and i have been getting the run around from em....i am going to increase til i see a negative effect and then dial back...or at least thats the plan as of now.....

 

[Mhamilton0911]

If you have a laptop or a way to plug in a USB to a tablet or something you can borrow my par meter. Apogee sq420. Simple app to run it. Message me if you want to try it. Shipping should be easy and cheap too.
