Dre's 10gal recall build

Def go PAR38. One larger one and you're set. Awesome colors, pop, and growth, especially over a tank that size.

Yup, I cannot wait to get my LED hung up today. Really curious to see the difference. Take lots and lots of pictures.. Be sure to do a Pro/Con to!
 
Glad ur liking the tank bro :) and i cnt wait to see this up and running..

Id suggest going with coral compulsions 36 watt 20k full spectrum par38 bulb.. That bulb will look super sweet over that tank

Hi Dre, if you would like to see any of my bulbs in person, just let me know. We can always setup a time for you to stop by and I can demo any of my bulbs for you and your daughter. You can even compare two different ones side by side, which many people like to do for comparison purposes. Just let me know, and if you plan on getting a fixture and bulb combo, I always knock off $10 for all chicago reefs members! Thanks!

Thats were I'm right now... Might have to see these PARR38, before I drop the big $$$$. Was told that they are not that great... But would rather see one in person and judge myself..

Might wanna check out Aquastyleonline.com they have pretty cheap kits, I just built one up and compared to the Cree setup I built for a friend, these Bridgelux are just as good for a fraction of the price.

Check out my build thread on them, might be a good option for something very affordable for a tank that small.
 
JVC, thanks!

Purchased all the bulkheads and loc line needed to get this running soon.. Cost was $33 vs trying to support a LFS that was way over $100.. I hate when that happens :(

Went with a PAR38 20k after seeing them in person and trying many bulbs.. The wife thinks we might need another, but will wait and see the results. She likes how the bulb will hang over the tank..

Thank you Jimmy ;)

More updates to come

Not sure what Reefapple was thinking when this was built.. Why they made a 1" return and 1.5" drain.. Talk about WTH!!!

Also the returns nozzles are 1/2"

So I'm looking for parts if anybody has laying around. This will be a very interesting plumping IMO

Acrilyic right? Can you open the holes bigger for normal plumbing?

Correct!!! After talking with the manufacture and getting the correct sizes.. The drain was 1.5" & return is 1".. The return lines which is 3/4" npt loc-line

I should be able to make this work with reducers..
