I have seriously wondered if 400 would be too much. Maybe I just haven't caught the SPS bug, but I think sofies are more beautiful, and so I THINK I'll be sticking with mostly softies, clams and a few SPS. I guess I think that there is as much color to be found in softies and LPS, and they flow with the current, which is something SPS obviously don't do.
Would 2 250w MH, 12" off the surface be enough light for what I want them to do? And no overheating?
Broomer, how is your lid hinged? What sort of device are you using to hold the lip open? I was looking at friction hinges (stay open unless you push them closed) but I don't know how well they would work after a while since they are made of metal. Any chance you have or can take a picture of your solution to the problem?
Old Yeller Tang, can I email you or better yet AIM you to ask about the DE setups? Too many questions and I don't want to bore all you good SWF people. I've been doing a lot of research and I'm getting a lot of different answers and a lot of confusion. My email again is kristopherjhoffman@hotmail.com, feel free to shoot me an email if you don't feel like posting your AIM or email addy here. If you email, make sure you let me know you are Old Yeller.
