    VHO vs. PC

    I had both PC's and VHO for 5 years and the PC's run alot hotter than VHO's and are alot brighter. Granted you need 2-3ft PC's for the lenth of a 6ft VHO but the PC's will be brighter. VHO Actinics look alot better than PC actinics which is why the best combo is PC's for the daylight 10K's and...

    Going To Kew West

    On a subject other than a hotel. Do not go on a snorkling tour with a big group. They take you to a beat up reef that has sea fans, fish and nothing else. Find a local boat captain that will take you fishing and snorkling to a real nice reef. You will pay about $20.00 more but it is well...

    Bad Ballast or Bulb?

    Probably the ballast. Try running a fan over the ballast and see if it helps.

    Right or Not ???

    I really hate to comment on topics like this but I want to. I hate when people throw out situations that occur rarely and yett are used to justify a belief. Just because a 12 year old occasionally gets knocked up does not make the case for abortin being legalized for the rest of society and...

    SunPod HQI Metal Halid

    That's funny. My Sunpod is extremely quiet but the bulbs are pretty blue. It's not like Actinic blue but it definately has a bright blue look

    reasonable price

    If it is just the tank and stand and is in really nice shape then $200.00 tops.

    SunPod HQI Metal Halid

    They have a hanging kit. The company will send you 10K bulbs probably if you don't like the 14K/s. Sometimes it does take a few minutes for all the bulbs to click on so if they don't all come on together give it a couple minutes. Running a couple 40 watt 10K daylights will work also to offset...

    SunPod HQI Metal Halid

    They are not controlled seperately. There is a switch for the HQI's and one for the blue LED lights and one for the white LED lights.

    SunPod HQI Metal Halid

    I got the 60 inch 3X150 watt Sunpods. The bulbs are very blue. So going from 384 watts of 10K daylight PC's to the 3X150 watt HQI bulbs I noticed the tank was not near as bright and was alot bluer. I added on a couple 110 watt VHO Daylights to counteract the Blue and the tank looks...

    Is My Coral Dying?

    I had a pink leather that was really nice looking a good year and then all of the sudden it waxed over for a few days and then it opend up a blander yellower color. Over 5 years it got bigger than a basketball but never got the pink color back. I don't think your leather is dying if it is...

    I am sorry hoover. I thought that you where giving me advice on how to ship them. I will get a shipping price for you. If you want I will ship them all in one box but i won't guarantee the bulbs if you want 1 box to save on shipping. I plan on wrappin the bulbs in bubble wrap.

    Keep in mind that the bluer the bulb the slower growth you will have according to alot of coral growers. A 6500K bulb will grow corals faster than a 14000K bulb but the 14K bulb will give the corals better colors. Lots of fraggers will grow the corals under the 65K light and then move them...

    130watt PC in my 20g

    There are some stonies that do well under PC's. I believe the Acrapora ( I think that is the name ) will do okay if high in the tank under PC's.

    confused on how to shim

    Is the stand wabbly or is it firm on the floor and the floor has a lean to it. If the stand is firm on the floor but the floor leans then just leave it. A tank that leans is going to be just fine as long as it is not drastic. I have set tanks up with as much as a 3/4 inch lean over 6 ft of...
