    lights & canopy - too much heat?

    Those T5 lights are a bit more then I wanted to pay. Am I right in this understanding that most of the heat from PC lights comes from the ballast and not the bulbs? And that is why retro fit would be the better option?

    lights & canopy - too much heat?

    I have a canopy and am looking to upgrade my lights to the PC Orbit . Will the use of the ORBIT 48" FIXTURE (260 Watts Total) and a canopy with an open back create too much heat? Is it possible to use them together?

    Purchasing fish: Internet or LFS?

    I have only bought Live Rock on the net, and was very pleased w/it. As for fish and coral, I am much like most here--like to see its condition before i purchase it. I would buy a cleanup crew also from an online retailer.

    Is anything safe........

    I also do not know much about an aggresive setup, but maybe sea urchins could live with those aggresive fish. I am just taking a shot in the dark, but it might be something to look into.

    enjoy the two together! i always wanted my maroon to take to my corals to no avail. I have been thinking of getting an anenome, even though it seems to be frowned upon on this board.;) Hope they have each other for a long time!!!:)
