IlikeSalt I live in south Florida and when I had my 55g I would leave the lights off during the day (thats when it is the hottest so not having the lights on helped keep temps stable) also most folks work in the day time so why have the lights on when you cant enjoy it. That worked for me and...

I had a 55g with 440 watts of VHO and I was able to keep a green carpet for many years, it also doubled in size. I cant remember the exact bulbs they were becuase it was so long ago, 2 were blue and 2 were white thats all I remember. I posted a VHO vs T5 thread yesterday, check it out for more...

So an Icecap 660 can power T5's? I know they can power HO lighting no problem but I want to make sure that they are compatible. Also if I do get the T5 I am going to get the whole setup since I am starting from scratch, (lights, canopy, fans etc). However I might just build my canopy from...

I wish I had the money:( would you part out?

Doh !!! Move to Florida:(

100 gallon is kinda big. I live on the secoud floor in my complex do you think that would cause problems? Another problem is I wasnt expecting to get a whole setup all at once. I dont think I would have the cash for everything :( I wanted to buy what i can get. BUT I am interested nonetheless...
