Hello all..
First of all thanks to the admin for allowing me into the group,👍.
Little bit about me : Being in the hobby since 2015, i am switching over from my old 90 gallon (shut down a year ago) to a new upcoming 150g build early next year. The old set up was lps reef powered by Hydras and some basic equipment .
For the new build that will be from Cade aquariums i am thinking of following equiments. Any suggestions / advice are most welcome from all you experienced reefers
Tank, Stand and sump: Cade S21500 150x60x60cm
Lights Main T5s supplemented by led bars : T5s still undecided between Kz brand fixture . Giesemann Matrixx ii and lastly ATI sunpower.. Looking at suggestions amongst these. I left out the Pacific Sum Athlea lamps becuase Pac Sun quoted 130 euros additional for the black color model which i found absurd..🙄
Skimmer : Carried forward from old set up Tunze 9410dc
Return pump: Maxspect turbine duo from previous set up
Wavemakers: Tunze, gyres
UV sterlizer: Deltec
For the lights. note that i will have to import pretty much any brand that i choose from the above listed. The choice would be considering the summer temperatures in my region which get very hot. The light would be hanging from the ceiling, so the fixture would be relatively ventilated. The fixture will be at minimum 20cm above the tank for ease of maintenance.
The reason for keeping ATI as the 3rd option is purely based on the look aspect as the tank will be in living room. But the look factor does not supersede the performance
So looking at all these criteria, i would like some valuable inputs from the users and their overall experiences for the mentioned brands.
Thanks and Regards
