    AquaMedic Ocean Light Pendant?

    I've been running 2 250 watt aquamedic oceanlight HQi's for a few years. I've seen no problems with either of them.

    DI Resin loses its effectiveness when exposed to CO2. Think that's it?

    make sure you mount the plywood far enough away from the window so that when the plywood bows it won't break the glass.
