Well would like see the people with experience in the matter respond to this please
I am pondering the idea of the 500 dollar mod to my hood from nano customs adding 150W HQI and 2 18watt actinics .... or a sepperate light removing my current hood and leaving a whole lota open space for evaporation ... which will require another purchase of a ATO ...
I am currently building my own glass sump which will be home to my skimmer and filter sock not sure how much room a ATO will need ... but i might need to add that as well.
So questions so far are :
How much evaporation did you see on a daily basis ? with hood off setups
How much space in sump did the ATO takeup?
I am looking at the modding the hood myself for a 180+ watts ... or external light that rings in about 400 watts with HQI/t5 (lots of heat too) so there may also be a chiller entering the mix soon.
If you feel like adding pics of your setup that would be a great help too.
thanks.
