Progression of my 90 Bowfront

Over a 1000 watts of light!

I'm going to have to do some serious acclimation.

I struggled with going over to halides, because of heat and cost of bulb replacement. But this fixtures cost $2,600 new, and I acquired it for much much cheaper. The cost was a no brainer decision but I am such an acro/SPS freak, it kinda makes me justify things in order to attain amazing color and growth.8)

Your sps are going to love that lighting. How many watts on the MH?

NVM: wow 400 W Radiums, oh yeah.

 

Oh yeah! is right! I am thinking the exact same thing. When I scour the forums for amazing tanks filled with massive acro colonies, it seems the majority of them run MH. So I am going to give them a shot and see how I like them.

 

^^^ this. I know the feeling. I think MH grow things far better than LED and I am an LED guy.

 

Same here. I love MH, but I just can't deal with the heat in the house and tank; it's not very practical in the desert.

 

I am not getting rid of my T5 fixture just in case it becomes an issue with heat. I figure that since I'm moving into a new place I'll just use the fixture for heat this fall and winter.
