Hey all! It's been a while since I've visited - kind of nice not to have so many problems as of late! My birthday is coming up and the only thing I want is a new light hood with all the fixins. I'm looking at the 36"
Aqualight Pro HQI/Compact Fluorescent/Lunar Light Fixture
from Fosters and Smith - its on sale, but I am so open to other suggestions. There are conflicting reviews (aren't there always?). Here's my set up -
7 year set up (hallelujah!)
46 gal bowfront
Two T5 HO
two clowns
scopus tang
madarin goby
regular clean up crew
bubble tip
tons of zoos
finger leather
mushrooms
mushroom leather
a few ricordea here and there
I want to start adding more corals, but know my lighting may not be strong enough. So here are my questions if any of you can help!
1. Can those hoods be above glass? I used to have a diamond goby and want another and know they are jumpers. I don't want an open top on the tank.
2. I've seen certain ones "run hot" - does that mean they heat up the water? (yikes)
3. We aren't DIYourselfers. We want to just buy something and have it ready to go. Do any of you have any experiences with this?
4. Do I have to hang these from the ceiling? I don't know if that's an option for us. Dogs, kids and just plain craziness around here!
I'm open to just about any suggestion other than a DIY! Bring it on everyone!!
