EK -- when are you ever going to upgrade your tank to something with a little more depth.. You really should look at the new Marineland 300... 6ft x 3ft deep x 27 tall... your ilangi will love you forever man

You seen the tank in the front at T&T? I almost took that home one day but for the money I stopped myself and have been snooping around for a more custom tank to my exact liking.... coming soon

[eklikewhoa]

That's some serious lighting dude. No need for heaters with that kinda energy. They still in that 125?

I actually still use the heater and it still turns on occassionally. They are still in the 125g for now.

Here's a noob question: Are Metal Halides the only lights that require a separate ballast box?

All lights require a ballast but yeah most halides have a remote ballast.

Nice. That looks great, Quoc. How many watts those things running?

3x150w HQI
4x96w Compact Fluorescents

Yeah man, that's nice. Like I said, something the PC's can't provide!

The camera doesn't pick it up that great but let me try.....

[J-WS6]

do you have a FTS showing the shimmer in your tank now?

EK, seeing your tank did make me want to finally want to upgrade my lighting. I had gone to T5s last year with a single pair using Hagen Glo. Now I'm looking at 4x54 or 6x54 on my 120s. I still can't decide the fixture though - ATI power module or sunpower. I thought about the halides, but I'm not ready to go back to the heat of it - especially over 4 tanks.

That tells you what I'm saving up for as well as selling the lufubu for...

Hellolights.com has an exact replica of the TEK fixture for much less. Might be on backorder now though cause it was on super sale.

Yeah my PC fixture is 4x96 too, but halides provide that shimer effect that PC's will never even get close to.
