hehe, Jack this set up is NOT overdriven [img]smile.gif[/img] I am going to do a reacessment when I get my other lights and water in and then overdrive if I fell it is nessary, I never thougth I would have gotten this much blue out of NO plain jane bulbs but I am thinking this could be because of the fact there is no water in the tank.. so in all likelyhood I will be overdriving when the tank is up and running.
when I do the overdriving I will most likely use a workhorse 6 to drive the two outside bulbs and a workhorse 4 to drive the center one, this will alow me to over drive a 30 watt bulbs to ~ 70 watts and alow me to set them up on seperat timers to have the ccenter one come on first, then the two outside bulbs then the PC's for more of a dim to sun effect..

doh, could of sworn I saw overdrivin somewhere. Lol, oh well. Just goes to show my memory. Steve, I think I will be in Victoria around the 21st of this month for a few days. I think I will pick up some of that sand. I also want to check out Hillside now too, time to start stocking my tank ;) Now this is the fun part... :>

Your link to your home page does not work. If I missed something about this then pretend you did'nt read this.

Steve,

Do you have anymore of that reflector material? I have been too busy to check the BB for the past few weeks. I would really like enough for 3x36" NO bulbs for my 33g. Maybe I could get Jack to pick it up for me. Please don't use my email right now, home computer died while I was gone this past 2 weeks, don't know if I will be up a running for a few days.

Lee!!! I was wondering what happened to you, geez. I will be in Victoria March 20th to the 24th, I might take a detour and pick up the reflector material, and sure I could pick some up for you Lee if I go, no problem. Steve, can you mail or message me an adress? Are you moving your tank or something?? I could help if you want. I was wondering why I didn't hear from you for the longest time, I figured you were out working or something but computer dying makes sense. Give me a call or get back to me Lee. 250-339-0383

Talk to both of you guys later.
