Tony, You might have something there. The Viper 70 W comes with a 14,000K bulb while the Aqua-Medic 250 comes with a 10,000K bulb.

In both instances I was using just the MH light (no actinics)

150w MH track light

2 of these 2' over the tank would be pretty cool looking.

would have to get better ballasts, bulbs and would have to find something like it in canada.

Roughly how much was a tube of that silicone? I'm trying to source some out and I may be able to get a tube for $12ish, though a friend of a friend who is in the glazing business.

Nothing firm yet, but I will see what I can get.

$37????? I stumbled onto GE Polymershapes in PoCo and they gave me a free sample tube! The guy said that the tube was about to hit its "best before" date so they didn't want to just chuck it. Not sure how much they would sell a tube for since they don't normally do retail.
