Up until now I have run 10k bulbs in my fixtures... it has resulted in amazing growth but the colors arnt as nice as before and its time to buy new bulbs. I will be going with either a 14k or 20k bulb for some nice colors but I want high as possible par for good growth... Which would be the best...

what about gowing them under 65k then putting them back under 14k MH to "color up"?

Today I did some reartanging in my tank and accidently knocked a rock over and broke off a few peices of some of my SPS corals. I have since crazy glued them to small rocks and put them in my sump. I currently only have a 65k CFL on my turf scrubber in my sump and thats it for lighting... I have...

lol thats enough to convince me to lose it when i upgrade

I am already running sump which is covered with a scrubber so there is already alot of evap from that... another point that was brought up... i am constaly battling salt creep... will that stop if i go topless?

ok so what if i kept the glass constantly clean? or is it still gonna interfere with the performance of the lighting, which ever i choice to use.

I need to keep it covered as I have a huge issue with humidity in my apartment... and having no top on my tank with all tht water movement will release alot of unneeded moisture into the air

is 12" really how much space is required? Even with a covered glass top? I would prob only use 2 of them

its 24" deep. The 10k bulbs come with it but i would prob buy 14k when i went threw all 10 10k bulbs How much heat to MH give off? Would I need to space them above my tank?

90g. yes the halide is a 3 x 250watt

I just sold my paintball gun(FINALLY) and have a bunch of money to upgrading my lighting... So the time has come to choose between a brand new 8x54 T5HO or a used "need to modify to fit my application" 3x250 MH hood w/6 10k bulbs. They are about the same price by the time I finish buying bulbs...

no one can help me?

oh I thought they were 6"... atleast thats what I was told

Today I picked a few more hammer corals to complete my color collection but i am also running outta room bewteen others... SO what will there sting kill? All the others are hammers, frogspawn, zoos, xenia, kenya trees and ricorias

i learned my lesson from it...
