    Metal Halide = NOISEY !?!

    Moderators. Can we move this to the Reef Tank forum instead? There's probably more people in there that actually have MH lighting.

    Metal Halide = NOISEY !?!

    That last post took so long to word just right so that my text wasn't bleeped out. This website is touchy with what they won't allow!

    Metal Halide = NOISEY !?!

    That crossed my mind. I'll need to open it up and take a closer look at the fan inside. Maybe that'll be the simple fix, maybe not... It was also supposed to come with some legs which never made it. So I'll need to get in touch w/ either the manufacturer or the store I purchased it from. I...

    Metal Halide = NOISEY !?!

    Maybe less people actually own MH lighting than I thought. I'll take anyone's thoughts that has been next to a MH lighting setup in a room that was quiet enough to judge the noise factor. I was at a lfs earlier today but it was too noisy to judge how loud their lights were. Is it the wattage...

    Metal Halide = NOISEY !?!

    I don't even think I'm being unreasonable here. I just received a 20" Current USA SunPod HQI 250W MH setup. Well, I was excited to turn it on and see it light up... then I heard the fans!!! Granted it's right in my living room, in a corner next to my TV, but I don't think it would matter...

    Trying to finalize a new 54G setup.

    Well, I think I've pieced together a decent 1st reef tank, we'll see if I can keep things alive in it. :thinking: The 54g black corner is already here, now I'm just waiting for the rest to arrive. The changes I've made to the original list are... Instead of the Quiet One 3000, I went with a...

    Current Sunpod HQI owners... How do you like your Sunpod MH unit?

    Bump... I'm wondering the same.

    Trying to finalize a new 54G setup.

    I just found the flow rate for the overflow tank on the 54G. It's only 400gph. I was way over. Now to find a pump...

    Trying to finalize a new 54G setup.

    Just a quick update. I did purchase the tank, stand and glass top today. It should be in Tuesday!

    Trying to finalize a new 54G setup.

    Here's the place I found the PC light mentioned above. The dimensions are on the page if you scroll down a bit. Could you tell me for certain whether or not it would fit our size tank? *edit... 30" X 7-3/4" X 2-5/8" I thought that was a decent price. If it's 2X too much, are you saying that I...

    Trying to finalize a new 54G setup.

    I always want to see pics! Which combo did you go with and how is it mounted? Do these metal halide's need to be up off the glass (hanging) or can they sit right on the glass top? I'm thinking a 250W MH w/ Lunar lights is the direction I'm leaning now... instead of wasting money on a light I'll...

    Trying to finalize a new 54G setup.

    All-glass claims that the sump will fit right on their website, so it should. Do you know of people having problems trying to fit one underneath? As for the light, I was quoted a 30" standard dual strip fixture from local store for the 54g. So I just figured that any 30" dual strip would work...

    Trying to finalize a new 54G setup.

    I've been searching for some time now and I think I have it nailed down. If anyone has any thoughts to try and steer me in a different direction please let me know. I've included the best pricing I can find too. Am I missing anything, what do you think? All-Glass 54 gallon black reef ready...
