IM 25 gallon lagoon - frag tank

[Darkxerox]

Is the halide passively cooled or does it have a fan in the canopy?

Passive for now. Clip on fan on order.

I think this is mostly ready to go.

Need to figure out if I am going to use the T5's or go to Orphek light bars or maybe a combo.

Threw in some frags from SBB Corals.

Anyone ever order from them? All frags came in brown.

This tank has been a challenge. I have been battling what I think were dinos. Everytime things seemed to be going in the right direction, within days it would revert back to something nasty looking. In the end I think it was the rubble rock I put in there (in the pic above) then dumping sand on top of that. I removed the rubble and some of the coarser sand along with a couple of the frag racks. Within days the brown, nasty, stringy stuff was gone. Whatever did it, I'm happy that it seems to be on the right path.
Here's how it looked today.

Glad to see you’re sticking to your “old school” ways. I see you just can’t resist those Ranco temp controllers and that METAL halide! Let there be light! I love it. Ben you should have hit me up, I could have brought over your DE halide fixture.
