I ordered some stuff from premium aquatics today. I decided to go with 3 Sunlight Optix 250w MH HQI. They were on sale. I'll buy electronic ballasts later.
I still need to decide what act's to go with. I'm leaning towards some T5's instead of PC's.
Also, I ordered a mag 24 pump. I'm gonna try this as my return pump for now. After 54" of lift it should be around 1350gph. This should be enough? Remeber I am doing a closed loop with an OM 4 or 8 way. Should I use a Dart or Iwaki55 for this?
Also, I ordered my ATO pump. Took Patrick and OSB's advice and went with aquamedic sp 3000. I think i'll do regular WC's for a while at first. eventually I would like to do continuos WC's with the masterflex aquamedic pump.
Does anyone know about the Lighthouse controller from Premium Aquatics? It sounds really simple to use and has all the features that I will need initially.
