  1. No, i wouldn't risk it with the corals.

    They are good. Im pretty sure i got the 20000 though.

    Ps, adam and i both had to switch around the bulbs of the fixture to make actinics come from one plug, and whites from another

    Yeah, i but the actinics in the back bec i dont like the blue look as much, but maybe you do so you could put them up front. It doesnt involve just moving the bulbs. You have to undo the wireing too. Thats easy enough though.

    Has your mom even SEEN an angel? I guarentee she would have loved it!!!

    Did you check out aquatraders.com? I think they have better options for you for lighting options that are cheaper.

    The odyssea fixtures? I heard they were crap. The reflectors are just a flat peice of metal and the ballasts are poop. Fishneedit gets good reviews:)

    They had some bad press a few years ago because some caught on fire. They aren't the best lights. But they do the job just fine. It looks great on my tank. I couldn't be happier, and I really think you woyuld happier with one of the odyseaa fixtures honestly.
