[surfnvb7]

are you going to do some actinic supplementation?

[aqua11878]

ive got them in a Giesmann eco 260 w/ 2x54wt t5's 1 actinic and 1 white that blends my 2x250wt 20k XM's that are in the back with the new 14 Phoenix's.

[surfnvb7]

is this tank all sps?

[aqua11878]

Wow Andy that sounds amazing. My dream tank is, as with most everyone else, a MH setup with t5 actinic supplementation. I'm going to look at the club tank photos right now in hopes of seeing new pics of your tank.

Does Pheonix make a 250 14K single ended thats any good, I am ready for new bulbs?......actinic supplementing gets put in the hood today after 4 deliveries from Fed EX on 4 different day's, an hour on the phone with them, and the packages being delievered to the wrong address twice. Woohoo.

I wish, unfortunately they are only double ended.

Sounds like loads of fun with Fed Ex! But hey, at least you have it now, and nothing arrived broken.

Nope. I even called the company and asked why not. From all I've asked and read, the Aquaconnect 14k is the closest thing in a SE to the Phoenix 14k. I have a pair on their way.

[westcoastreef]

arrr I guess I am ordering too was premiumaquatics the cheapest you could find? I was thinking about some Ushios, but I might just make the push for Aquaconnects

[westcoastreef]

Don't Jinx it, I haven't plugged the bulbs in yet...

the de aquaconnect has the same output as the de pheonix, but the se aquaconnect is different. i'm certian you'll like them.

I was happy with hammy 14k SEs back in the day.

nice quote Mike

[westcoastreef]

Just wanted to post up, I finally got my two t5s on my tank on my tank a few days ago. I thought it was bright before. I mounted them on either side of my metal halides, it look's so much better. Unbelievable!! They are the aqua + . I love it, my corals looks amazing, when I turn off the t-5's everything now looks washed out. Thanks for the advise on the aqua+.

[aqua11878]

AWSOME!!!!!!! Flip that reef!

[Hopeful Reefer]

How about some before/after pics?

[westcoastreef]

Pictures tonight, sorry things have been busy.
