I try not to get too involved, because most debates turn into sticky dem v repub arguments where nobody listens to any other point of view - they just spew talking points like "party of no" or "liberal spending" without much to back up the "point of view" that Fox or CNN told them they should...

I try not to rag on pilitics too much, but when something that doesn't quite add up I have to comment. As far as the Rx drugs patent goes, I had no idea that it had even gone up to 14 years. I do think that they have every right to demand as much $$$ as they do, it's their R&D... a lot of...

Man - people love to hate on OSU and the Big Ten. Every team has their scumbags, it's just how many you have and how you treat them that can mess with your rep. I was talking to a guy at work the other day about USC hiring Kiffin. I think that he may be pretty good at rectuiting and an ok...

Watts per gallon is old school - now people have better access to photo meters (although they are still pretty expensive). Penetration is what you should look for in a light. I'm a big fan of the individually reflected T5's because I don't want to run a chiller. The look of MH's are super...

Conference ranking this year (just my opinion) 1. SEC (Florida and Bama are the only contenders, LSU has lost to the only 2 teams worth mentioning on there sch, but all SEC fans ride the coat tails of the top 2 which makes their entire conference the best...Right?) 2. Pac 10 (For the first time...

Did you look to see if he went 'carpet surfing'? I was transfering everything I had from a 29 temp holding tank to my 40 that I was doing work on, I pulled all of the rocks out so that I could get the fish and did not see my 6 line. I assumed that he was hiding in one of the rocks. A few days...

With all those stonys and clams in there and no ca reactor how do you keep your calcium and alk in check?

What kind of equipment do you run and what's you maintenence sched. look like? Somehow your tank always looks better and better, I wish I could get that kind of growth.

Yeah, I had already planned on replacing bulbs shortly after purchase. I'm thinking about getting the Sundial and then the same site has retro Nova a bulb setups. All in all if I get 2 retros, reflectors, and the sundial I'll be saving money over the Nova pro.

Will the 4 Bulb Sundial over an 18" deep tank be enough light for sps/clams? I'm trying to decide between the sundial and the Nova Extreme Pro. The Pro is $65 more but I would get 2 additional bulbs. The Sundial comes with moon lights and timers. Both are 'individually reflected' although I...

Does your bicolor nip at any of the corals in your tank?

What did you end up going with?

I'm in the same boat as you - looking for an affordable 48" light for my 75. I'm not sure that halides are 'on the way out'. They are very good lights that are not only good for your sea creatures, they are pleasing to the eye. They do run a little hotter and you do not have the same light...

Wow, a lot of engineers in here. 1. What do you do for a living (how do you support this expensive hobby)? - I'm an actuarial consultant in health & welfare 2. Was this your initial career choice? - I started school as an aeronautical engineer, found a few professors who thought their job...

Just to play devil's advocate here - is it possible that they are not cutting corners? There is just cheaper labor in China and they don't have to add on the necessary 'Name Brand price jack' of any 'name brand' product? Back to the question - SCI, do you think that the T5's (They actually say...

I have not heard any horror stories as of late with their fixtures. There are a lot of people that will tell you 'you get what you pay for' but with a few simple mods the halides at least seem to work well for people. I'm sure a few of the nay sayers are just ticked that they spent double for...

I know that in the past Odyssea light fixtures have gotten a pretty bad rap catching fire and all, but recently I've seen that they have switched to an electronic balast in their halides and I've also seen a few easy mods that will get the balasts to not underdrive the bulbs. My question regards...

From everything that I've read, their PC's are fine to use as supplemental lighting, it's the MH's that you have to look out for - overheating and electral shorts leading to fires. It would be nice if they are upgraded for this year. I'm really not one to cut corners, but how can you beat the...

Your light looks like an Odyssea, have you had any trouble with it at all. There are a lot of poor opinions of their halides around the boards. I'm looking for a decent light for my 75 with out paying the 50% markup just for a name.
