Hey Jonathan,

This is the quote from Victor's post I mentioned to you tonight:

"The Measurements:
This is for a 90 gal (48x18x24) tank. It has a 5 inch DSB and the lights are 5 inches from the water. I have two overdrive lamps - two 6500K. I will be adding a third, but it will be actinic.

My lighting measurements are the following:

At the surface, 16000 to 20000 lux.
At middle of tank, 7000 lux.
At bottom of the tank. 4500 lux.

BTW, usually 2x175W MH produce this much light. It is also...encroaching the 2x250W area."


He's running 2 lamps? I'm going to run 2 lamps, plus the 2 actinics on the other e-ballast. Why am I going to spend money I don't have right now for MH, when I can get near the output?

How cool is this? Your tank is off the charts by now, with the tubes you're running.

Alan
