What is the amount of light needed for 650 gal. pond? Is 40 watts too much? What size pump would you need.

Depending on your area of the country! I live in SW AZ and have a 2500 gallon pond. 40 watts was not enough. And I had troubles with this. I now went to 2 55 watt jaebo? or something like that. I would say if you have an algae issue, you may need more also. I don't believe too much uv filter would hurt anything, except keep your pond very clean.

The size of a uv clarifier will mainly depend on your pump size if you already have one. A 10 watt submersible uv is ok for a 650 gallon pond but you want to make sure you connect it will a pump that is 700 gph or less. If you waterfall feature requires a larger pump you can use a large uv clarifier. The pondmaster submersible 40 watt uv clarifier can be used with 1.5" tubing and a pump that is no more than 3,000 gph, it will work for ponds that are 6,000 gallons or less.

The 10-watt model is rated for up to 1500 gallons, the 20-watt for up to 3000 gallons (http://www.amazon.com/Pondmaster-02910-Violet-Clarifier-10watt/dp/B00025YVGW/ref=pd_sim_lg_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1R49KXXSFNEBR4QAJTRK ). These lights work only on planktonic algae, not string algae. If your pond is in direct sunlight, has a severe planktonic algae problem, and has no pond plants to compete with the algae for nutrients, you may want to consider the 20-watt model; otherwise, the 10-watt model should be suitable for a 650 gallon pond. If your pond has fish, ideally you should use a pump that will recycle the entire volume of the pond every hour; that is, a pump rated for no less than 650GPH (gallons per hour). If your pond filter is positioned higher than the water surface of your pond, the head height of the pump will need to be considered, because it reduces the flow of the pump. You would likely find it very helpful to visit a store that sells Koi and pond supplies. Owners of those shops usually have a lot of experience building ponds and dealing with water quality issues, and they are happy to help you purchase the right equipment.

A 40 Gallon should have a 200 watt heater... it's 5 watts per gallon is the normal requirement

Not sure about watts but you might find that under the specs. Definitely delivers. I have it running a waterfall and bubbler. I have to use a diverter of about 25/75 or the bubbler is to strong. The waterfall is about four feet above floor of pond and runs strong.

Hello,These fixtures were designed for agricultural purposes and come with 6500k lamps. Not sure how well they do or don't work in regard to aquariums. Wish I could help more. Thanks & please remember to shop with Healthy Harvest Florida!

The wattage depends on the size of the pond. Both K & H (khmfg.com) and Farm Innovators (farminnovators.com) have a zone charts for their pond de-ricers. Both have contact information so you could always email them your pond specifics for help, as I have yet to find anyone who list information for ponds larger than 1200 gals.

The default bulbs that come in the package are 54 watts each, so 108 total. I have two planted swords in a 50g tank, and they're doing great on the basic 6500k bulbs.

Hello my friend, Though the power for each light is 10W. I would recommend you to use a 250W power supply for working with 15pcs of these lights. If these lights are used under water, kindly use a waterproof 250W power supply (we have it but not yet list it , but if you want to know the details ,you can email us for more info ). If these lights are used , not being soaked in water, then an ordinary 250W power supply or a larger one is OK. For any further question for the power supply info or how to connect several lights, you're more than welcome to contact us freely at any time. We'll do our best to help you . Welcome your friendly business with Lemonbest soon. Have a nice day. Best Regards Lemonbest

No. The 40 watts is misleading. There is very little light actually given off. Buy another product that specifies how many lumens are produced. You will need two bulbs with at least 3,000 lumens to grow plants successfully. Apparently this fluorescent light is very inefficient, many bulbs with less wattage will produce more light.

I assume your question is for oxygenating fish, and not hydroponics, so.....I used 1 of these per 250 gal container with 50-60 adult tilapia in it. Realize that you will push less air the longer the tube feeds are, and 9 40s would have to be 6 ft minimum runs on the perimeter, even if you centrally locate pump, so i would probably use 2, just guessing......They are very noisy, mine lasted just over a year ( warranty time ) but i have since found some info on how to rebuild the diaphragm, so i might raise my 1 star review

My pond is an 800 (plus/minus) gallon pond. The filter did an amazing job. The UV light kept the algae at bay. My pond gets 50% sun. It stayed crystal clear all season. If you have a full sun pond, I could only guess that the UV should handle it.

My pond is only 60 gallons and it was pretty powerful for mine at 60. Not sure about 200 gallon though.

60 watt. If you need more light but want to use this fixture, go with an LED or compact fluorescent bulb. You can get more light for less wattage.

Depends on what you have in the tank and the length. 4 foot wide fish only two 24" light pack will do. If you have coral you would probly want 4 24" minimum. High lighting coral need 3-4 watts per gallon. Most coral 2-3 watts per gallon will do.

I have a 55g aquarium and I bought two. I would recommend that you buy three for a 150g tank. There is definitely enough power to the lights as well. I have mine set at 30% whites and 45% blues.

I only have one plant and one Colormax and it give me low medium light in a 20 gallon long tank. You should probably need 6500 and a third strip of your choice would not hurt. I really like what the Colormax bulb does; The colors "pop" on both plants and fish.
