Mushroom sitting to high in tank?

[devon9832]

Tell me what you guys and gals think?

[dustin_P74]

are those micro-bubbles? and also you should run carbon so your water wont look green

[devon9832]

Yea, those are micro bubbles and it looks green i think because the tank is up again a green wall.. lol


but back to the question at hand..... is the shroom sitting too high? should i put it lower?

[dustin_P74]

what lights are you running, if pcs then i would say to the middle of the tank, if t-5's or MH then all the way to the bottom with some shading

[devon9832]

how can i tell which i have? i brought this set up from a guy and i didn't kno the proper questions to ask. I kno he had about 20 or so huge tanks is his big ass basement.. haha.

[dustin_P74]

do you know what brand the lights are or can you tell waht brand the bulbs are, the bubls usually say what they are. I.E t-8 (pcs) or t-5

[devon9832]

here is a pic of the lights...

i dont believe t8 are pc. If they are pc they will look like two bulbs in onewith like one socket on the end. where as the t5 and t8 have a metal socket on each side. T8 are propably about 3/4 in in diameter while t-5 are real tiny like pinky finger size

that looks like a current usa sunpod...they are metal halide if that is the fixture...real nice Does it have like 1 or 2 clear bulbs that are extremely bright?

and dustin, u right.. i was wrong. the tank is against the white wall so the water is a green color. I have a wet dry sump, how do i get the water to look clear again?
