    lighting question? what do i have?

    For the 3 middle lights, connect white to white and black to black from the wire to the bulb. Wire nut them and tape them up.

    lighting question? what do i have?

    The 2 tube lights are VHO's. Plug them in again and wiggle the bulbs around to see if thats the problem.

    lighting question? what do i have?

    The 3 center lights are Metal Halides (MH). You would have to read the bulb or the ballast for them to see how many watts they are and how many K they are. The K value will be the color look of the tank.

    Bulb change question

    I would change 1 bulb a week so the corals will get used to the new intensity.OR. Change out both and put screening on top of the tank to block out some of the light. Remove a layer (if using more then 1)a week. Depending on the bulb brand, the 20K will be only a little more blue.

    Dave. I think you have to invite everyone to view that doc. I tried to open it and it said I don't have permission.

    Chiller

    Are you breaking down the 55 and upgrading to the 90? The 1/10 will bring the 90 down a few degrees. You would either need a smaller pump to run the chiller, or you can T off the 1330 pump with a valve and feed the 1/10 with half the flow.

    Fuji Leather-Fraging Pics.

    I was watching this thread to see if you were going to have good success. From my experience and from what I've read, Fuji leathers don't like being fraged.

    DC4 fuses - anyone know where to get them locally.

    Glad you got it taken care of Bill. I have a 6 pack of GMA-15A if anyone ever needs one.

    Bill. Are you sure it's a 10 Amp? Mine are 15 Amp and I have a few extra. When mine blew, I found a pack at my auto parts store.

    Chiller Time

    Sorry to hear this kat. Chillers are rated by BTU. For laymen like us, they also have a horsepower rating which we understand better. For a 180gallon tank, a 1/5 horsepower will handle up to 180 gallons. A 1/4 will handle in the 200's. A 1/3 or 1/2 horsepower will handle in the 300 to 350 gallon...
