I went from using a 1X150MH 2X24w t-5 actinic to a 6x24w t-5 fixture in a 40g. Less heat, better color, no adverse affects difference noted in corals/clam. Cheaper than the MH/combo. Something to think about.
Nice looking tank cutie. I have been using the reeflux hqi 150w 12k bulb. I have tried one off ebay that was a no name and even though it was supposed to be a 14k, looked more like a 6500 or so. It was so yellow. Here is a pic of mine with the reeflux....
Gorgeous weather over here. I am near Craig and it's 79 with a nice breeze. Not the scorching triple digits I am used to by now. No wonder he is always happy.
