good idea;) Even less heat and plenty of air circulation. I think you will find that your fan or fans will hardly have to come on. I am going to do a test with my current Lumenmax reflector by...

I had gotten some used 12K Reeflux and we could not tell if they were the 1 month old bulbs or the 4 month old bulbs. After measuring I figured the one on the left was a 4 month...

Please don't take any offense, but I feel tests done of bulbs in the air relate very little to what we are trying to accomplish in our tanks. There is no coral in sight, no water, and no organics in...

Glxtrix,
