I've got a single bluewave and dual PFOs. All HQI. I wouldn't trade those beasts for anything

In fairness to the club I proposed a measly 5k lighting budget to my wife for the new tank days before starting the club. I started the club when I regained consciousness from the ass-kicking I received.

Hey I love my M80s too! Long live Radium and excessive mercury content!

My old fixture used to be like that. This one dissipates the heat really well. 3x400W MH with 8x39W T5 and the temp never exceeds 80 except in summer when I need a few fans to keep it below 81

I don't think my heater ever comes on. There are three 250W Magnetic ballasts on my 230gal system. The tank even heats the house. We don't need to turn the furnace on until the temperature outside starts dropping below freezing and this is an old poorly insulated house.

No.No.No! This club is for the "LOSERS without LED", and the bigger and brighter the halides, the bigger and brighter the loser!

I really would love to be a long time member of this club but the wife says we have to find a way to cut our power bills down. So with that said I will be building LEDS for all my tanks. I have 6 of those huge ass MH light in my large shop but will be changing them to high bay T5's, all our outdoor security MH light are also going to be changed to LEDs. This will take some time to complete the LED change over on the tanks so can I still be a junior member

How did the testing of the LED unit go at home Doug? I'm a bit hesitant to say 'yes' just yet...
