I ran The AC 150w's and had tons of growth and great color! I had mainly LPS and a few SPS in the top half of my 24" deep tank. I have never ran the Phoenix 150'9s tho and from what Ive read their 250 bulb is much better than the 150 bulb(according to RC threads)

I was having troubles reading the label on the ballast which i mounted on the back of the tank. That is until I remembered I can swivel my disco ball to hang over the back of the tank!
Turns out this is an m81 ballast (hqi) so I'm going to try out the radium 20k (which runs best on hqi) which I read is very intense with not a ton of blue but nice coloration of the tank.

Still doing my freshwater test while I wait for the following to arrive (wait is KILLING ME):
Tunze 9002 Custom Collection cup to fit Solana Tunze Osmolator Tunze 6025 BRS 2-part Chems, RO/DI membrane 150w Radium 20k The done list: Wired up my new Ranco temp controller today (had sold old one along with my Osmolator when I shut down the last tank). There were a few extra steps/parts since I made a mistake and ordered the 24V (not 120V) version but it's keeping my tank temp perfectly now. Removed stock pump and have a dead silent (and cooler) MJ600 in there now. Added sand after a thorough rinsing. Sand is CaribSea and is a nice mix of finer grains with some coral/shell bits. Wired and attached moonlights. Not sure of the brand but there are 3 LEDS which are tie-wrapped to part of a black plastic coat hanger piece. This is in turn tie-wrapped to the pendant arm.    Guts of my stand not as clean and organized as my old one and i totally don't care =) I plan to frost the glass so my shameful pile of cords is hidden. Will have a small topoff reservoir on the bottom shelf...fancy tupperware or something.  Last edited by lastlight; 04-21-2010 at 05:59 AM.

Thanks!
Got my Osmolator hooked up and doing its thing with a dead sexy ice-cream pail for a reservoir. Tunze includes nice magnet mounts rather than the old ladder/screw style ones I previously had. Big improvement although I carelessly had both magnet halves in my hand and forgot for a moment...nice blood blister on my finger now where they came together. My skimmer is waiting for a collection cup that fits in this tank. I quickly plugged it in and the Tunze Silence pump in the thing is very quiet so already a step up from stock. The air intake seems really loud but I think I got water in it so hopefully when it dries out and the unit is in salt water it'll be quieter. Still waiting for the BRS stuff so I can get salty. I'm not a patient person!
