Sorry my camera battery is dead and no charger...weak. Mine is about 24.5 inches end to end including the thickness of the wood. So I get a very very slight overhang that is indistinguishable when...

I have 8x24 T5s on my 24x24x18 cube. I like the ability to make slight changes to the color of the tank by spending ~$20 on a new bulb. The ATI fixture is what I will be going with when I upgrade to...

You didnt mention any return pump. Are you running a sump? The skimmer pump and return pump are often two of the biggest power draws since they run 24/7. Knowing those two would be relatively...

I'll take a stab since I have most of those corals. Most of them are well established, have been aquacultured for some time and should hold their colors. This is the main reason, IMO, that they...

Most people choose a ballast based on the bulb they want to run. Certain bulbs require certain ballasts, and others just run differently (Ie Pheonix bulb on hqi ballast vs. icecap...very different)

If you want a single halide, go with a lumenarc pendant.

You could also do 2x175 with Iwasaki 15k's assuming you like those bulbs, since they have great par and would save 150watts versus 2x250....

The 10 bulb with bulbs is $1129. However, you would have to get on a waiting list and likely wont see the fixture until February or later.
