Guys. Seing as how Mike posted this, here is the story. He has my 400w PFO pendant I sold him. He only runs one 400w over the center of the 6ft.- 30in by 30in. tank. He has a new Iwasaki, a pretty new Sunburst and an older Sunburst, plus the older 55K. Still only one 400 running though. He supplements with normal outputs. Ok, so far.

I just checked on his tank and its doing fine, esp. for running only a center 400w Sunburst. Except for the single mentioned cap I gave him, all his corals are softs.

I have been playing with a set of vho,s on my tank and a single 400. The vho bulbs just dont cut it for my sps tank, which is also 30in. deep. I am selling them or trading them. I will go back to a pair of 400 Iwasaki,s or a pair of 250w Iwasaki,s on each side of the centered 400w Radium. {trades if Mike dont want them, }

As he is only running the single 400w bulb, I figured the vho bulbs, along with some normal output actinics, would give as much overall light and a better spread on the tank. Of course the penetration of the halide over the center will not be there.

So der ya go.
