fallnhorse - I used to live in Hamburg (live in Florida now) You must have a bunch of heaters on your tank. Western NY has 2 seasons - Winter and the Fourth of July. Just kidding. It really is beautiful in the summer and my wife and I get up there every few years.

Isn't anyone using these lights? What is everyone using?

I am looking at the Current and the Coralife 72" 3x150MH & 4x96WCP. I see that Current incorporates the ballast in the hood and Coralife uses external ballasts. Which is better? I would think that esternal would be more desirable since it would be less heat in the hood and also it would be...
