MH FOR CHEAP 250,400

Whooaa, nice looking pics. :D

You guys have a very interesting lighting thread going on here. To bad its in the for sale forum. Hard to move though, with the first half being there.

My 2 cents worth. I think as others, running bulbs for extended periods on soft coral tanks is fine. As for acros, we shall see soon. My pink birdsnest had no love for old bulbs.

I ran my 250 watt Iwasaki on my soft coral tank for over two years. As for comments on low colour bulbs, I have tried the 175 watt 43K halide, purchased at the local lighting store.

Ugly yellow, excellent for refugiums, butt ugly on reef tanks, even with actinic, but corals grow fine under them. Many corals have drab colour though. And BEWARE, the algae. [img]smile.gif[/img]
