I got 2 250w HQI Giesemann $400more each one and a cheap odyssea fixture with PC and a 250w HQI I need to get a better ballast for the odyssea fixture the factory ballast sucks

que bola chris I already paint the stand i will post pics later.the tank is getting build by rick Aquarium Mart dale take care.......

[Reefer26]

henry is getting a little on the expensive side but hes building pretty good tanks though? i didnt know rick build tanksdid he give you a good price? starfire?

[cubano2480]

he is very good building tanks pretty cheap Free for me but he is to busy and I don`t want to take more of hes time on me,he give me the glass Starfyre yes I went to Karen and many others stores rick at aquarium mart give me the best price

hey Chris how is u tank? post pics man dale

[Rogger Castells]

Ricardo, 3 250w mh would be fine with me but unlike you my set up is all in one canopy and one of the bulbs sits right on top of a brace, I am not liking the shadow and since I can cut the fixture in three I am going to change, I am also looking into using a higher kelvin bulb thus will go 400 w

[cubano2480]

ok u scared me so I will be fine with 3 250w maybe u will need more light than what I do because u tank is most SPS my will be most soft corals and LPS...wen can I pas to see u tank??? thanks rogger
