    Why are these lights so cheap?

    the odyssea light is a GREAT fixture..Once you swap out the ballast with a good one it cant be beat. I had the 48" 760w light and ran 2 coralvue ballast on it and it was great. Cost a total of $500 and was the exact same setup as the Coralife that cost $980..Its a very good light if you want to...

    And it comes down to 2 - You make the call! (Lighting)

    I have one question..you said there is only a $10 difference between the Elite and the nova pro..I was looking at those elites and I see the 48" is like 800bucks..if its so cheap are you sure its even coming with ballast for the halides

    Reef Lighting???

    And it comes down to 2 - You make the call! (Lighting)

    I doubt it..its a 110g tank..I use to have 2x250w halides on my old 75g tank and even in the summer the temp of the tank only went up like 1-2 degrees...the fixture had fans in the top and pulled the hot air out..does that light have fans in it?

    as much as I like T5..I think you are going to need to use the MH since the tank is 30" deep. At that depth i would think you would need a Min of 8-10 bulbs with the T5

    Power Compacts vs. T5

    T5's dont generate anywhere near the heat of a MH..all my MH lights the heat was ALOT under the bulb and you wouldnt dare touch a lit bulb..my T5HO light i can touch the bulbs after a few hours being on and it doesnt even feel all that hot and the temp right under the light isnt much and at the...

    Once again "the lower the number like f2.8 and you have the center of the image in focus and the outside blurry" Read your own post..This is inaccurate..I dont care what your taking pics of..a focal plane is a focal plane. It has nothing to do with the center of the image or the outer edges of...
