If I could possibly quote this out of context, I would be actually agreeing with Bob for the first time. :mrgreen: :razz:

Ahh, it was bound to happen. Life is funny that way. We often don't agree with anything the other person says, but eventually we reach common ground (or never). I hope Quinn does not spot this :eek:

Seth, does that mean you're using the Mag7 on a 20 gallon tank?, I was wondering if a Mag3.5 would be to much, I guess not.

Hey BCorchidGuy

My Mag7 goes through a SWCD so a lot of the pressure decreases a lot. I used a Mag5 before and the water coming out felt like 100 gph which sucked. Now my Mag7 feels like around 200 gph which is alright. Maybe my plumbing sucks? hehe

Cool Seth, I've heard alot of good things about those SWCDthingamajigaroos.

BTW I upgraded my light to the coralife 130watt system for my 15 gallon hope that works out well, it sure doesn't look bright.

Is that the 2x65W Aqualight :question: I have single 65W 50/50 Aqualight on my 15. I really hate that 50/50, it just seems too dull for 65W, so I have the two tube one on order. I believe it comes with a 10000K and Actinic. I think I will replace that actinic with my 50/50, and see how that looks. :biggrin:

Bob the 10k seems to be really drowned out by the actinic, I'm not sure how it's going to work out and yes it's the Aqualight. I've used PC before and always thought that it looks like less light than the wattage rating but I'm not sure how much of that light is light that I can't appreciate. I'll give this a try but I'm going to try to find a source for a 70 watt HQI metal halide bulb and I'll DIY a hood if I have to.

Bob just so you know I wasn't impressed with the 2x65 aqualight combo, there just didn't look like enough light to me. Today I added the single 65 watt unit with a 10,000k tube and it looks good... (195watts???? on a 15??) oh well there are only a couple things in there, a gorgonian, a zenia frag with some kind of montipora and Antellia, and one single mushroom. They all seem to like the light the way it is today.
