O.K, So I might be allowed to turn a 10g guppy tank marine. I use the hood filter as guppies aren't that much of a bioload and they are usually sold quite quickly
I'm thinking about using the current hood filter it has as a place to put rowaphos [if needed] and live rock rubble.
So here is how the filter works;
The water goes through the gravel, and through the plastic cover with the holes in it.
The water goes up a 1'' diameter plastic pipe.
The water gets pumped through a pump.
The water is pumped into the filter compartment [9'' long, 2.5'' wide, 3'' deep - roughly]
And finally out of the filter and into the water via a filter outlet.
--------------------------
So that is the picture part of the filter, now some pics and questions about lighting.
The hood has a built in light [holds 1 light, 13watts. 6400k]
And here is the specs of the light.
So, can a marine tank live off one 13 watt light with reflectors [about 1.4 watts per gallon]? I'm only hoping for basic corals/mushies in this tank that don't require strong lights [like the sps corals?]
Many Thanks,
John.
