If lighting was free ......

What would you buy.

I would go with mh if I was going to do another reef tank but if it was a fowlr I would go with pc.

oh yes. my next tank setup WILL have MH @10,000k and fl/actinics because of the intensity and the color rendition that i like.

Thanks Matt for the Link. It is interasting. I might get a smaller tank and try it myself..

 

[zack schwartz]

Wow that is a very cool looking tank

I think the led's would be neat. They won't give you the shimmer that MH would give, but I like the power usage.
I voted for solartubes. $500 for one tube, but no power sorce, just the sun. Even on cloudy days they channel light to the tank. My 100gal would need 2 or 3 tubes.
