150 Gallon Build Thread ... From the Start

What kind of regulator do you have Vader?

It took a bit of fiddling with my Milwaukee to get it set, but (knock on wood) it has been steady ever since.

Everything is expensive ... just as well spend it on something we really like to do!!

dont you really like [ Insert Money Here ] :silly:

Vader definitely made the argument for a controller - in fact, the most positive feedback I have ever heard regarding a controller. Looks like we may be adding that to the list. Isn't Milwaukee's about $100?

:laugh:

Congrats cf on 1000+ posts!

BK is right - I've already got a Milwaukee setting in my closet just waiting ...

I love it ... actually, I have been telling people to do just exactly that since I was 22 years old - it's worked beautifully so far (lol)!!

So BK - will the ballasts mount on the back of the tank?

The next move (post Disneyland - leaving Thursday AM) is to get some **** ordered. The tank, stand, canopy, retro, bulbs (just straight T5HO?), and fans. Get it all laid out and start the mounting of the retro to the canopy (let the pics begin) with spacers, etc.

Question: 2 2250s or 2260s / or, 3 2217s - is it a big deal to select / stack media in the 2250 or 2260 (sold separately)?

Question: Painting the back of the tank?

Question: Substrate?? Can use what I used in my 45 (worked okay - lol) but am open to suggestions.

Question: Heaters (stealth) - what size and how many??
