Everytime I think I undrestand this hobby I get derailed! Ok everyone swears by HQI's. JonCats aquapod ( 1x32w SunPaq Dual Daylight & 1x32w) comes with stock lighting and he has some great and beautiful corals in it. DeMartini also has a beautiful tank with little lighting, Aquapod with stock. She upgraded to a 70 watt MH Sunpod I think and it looks even better. MattB had an upgraded hood i think with 144 wt pc, his tank is also great! I have a 28 gallon with 4x24 tek t5's. I want to upgrade and always thought go MH but now im thinking against it (Heat Issues). So whats the party line? I like the Red Sea Max ( a little expensive) 2 x 55 watt T5 power compacts. Or the biocube or nanocube all modified. I think with the Bio I can get 144 wt pc 29 gl.. and the Nano 132 wt pc 24 gl. Of course all these they can add a MH but I really cant buy a $300 chiller and everything else. The aformentioned tanks have everything I would want eventually I would like a clam though. Red Seas website shows the Max stock with a clam but I think its just a fake me out. Any thoughts?? Thanks!

Well I was thinking about buying one I like your light setup. Upon further reflection though I think I might just add to my current setup. 28 gallon bowfront-Aquaremora Skimmer, Tek t5's about 100 watts. Ive added so much and have had it for about a year. I think I might go with a sunpod. Only issue is the plastic brace, i wonder if it will melt.... I want a system with MH's and moonlights and I think this is my best choice.
