    I have an aquapod 24 gal and it has been running for about a month now and am about to upgrade to metal halides for the tank. I have two models in mind and wanted anybodys opinion that had experience with either model. I will be getting either a sunpod 20" 150 watt MH or the Viper 150 watt MH lights. Just wanted your guys opinions out their. Thanks in advance.....:)

    the viper loks like the one on the 3reef homepage that fastens to the back of your tank. My tank is 20" wide and 20" high.

    Either one would work!I would prefer sunpod as it has moonlights, and fans! but the viper would be much easier to work around.

    Thanks. I actually just got done mounting my new corallife 150 to the tank. I took the fixed top off and tightened her on. Man it puts out some life. Check the new photos and you will see what it looks like....
