![]() hi
Do you have a camera that can do spot measurement ? If you do...then you can use that. A good old SLR with a good fast lens (i.e. F2.8 or lower) is also another alternative. - Victor. |

![]() the icecap issue aside,
how long do VHO bulbs last driven on a regular VHO ballst? 6 months?...a year? i am contemplating using 2 6' actinic VHO for my reef, but at $50 a pop, i think i'll just use my NO if they only last 6 months. |

![]() Hello Guys,
Okay Stircrazy this is quite something you found. But I still love my IceCap, purely for the fact that I can dim the lights. Titus |

![]() Holly Cripes it seems you disturbed a hornets nest. I guess you can never bite the hands that pay as sponsors.
Ask an intellgent question and you get flamed. Love how they brought up "SUE" since that is the middle name of most American's. Opps - hope that did not offend anyone. |

![]() I have read the posts and can't believe some of the responses. Good to see a valid question simply get put to bed by those in charge [img]images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] . I must say that the response from Andy is NOT typical for him or IceCap. I have emailed him/them directly a number of times, I even sent him a link to this board at the beginning, and had to call upon their customer service and have nothing but good things to say about both of them. As a small business owner I know that sometimes ANY negative customer feedback feels like a personal attack and it seems that this one might have got to him. I hope that this discussion and query can continue here without being spoiled by ignorance. It is a valid question, just it was posted with what could have been read as a negative connataion IMO. I hope that Andy will answer here with the knowledge and genuine concern I have come to expect from him. This all comes from an interested hobbiest and IceCap faithful. Look at the picture below, and the two variable speed Ice Cap fans I own aren't even pictured here.

![]() Yah, all for one tank, and to think I will be adding one more VHO ballast in the spring for some more actinic supplementation.
