the vho's would make the viewing better and the fish might feel more 'normal'

maybe if you had two lights on a slow crawl it would be more natural, like the sun coming in and out through the clouds.

	VHO Very High Output Fluorescent Lighting - Fluorescent bulbs that run on special ballasts and have an output that is significantly higher than normal tubes. It is very possible to run an entire reef system on VHO lighting providing the proper number of bulbs and mixture of spectrums are chosen. For most hobbyists, these tubes are used in conjunction with Metal Halide lighting for simulating dawn and dusk. They often provide the "bluer" end of the light spectrum and thus a more aesthetically appealing display.

My fish have not shown any signs of stress... i think it's because my light is 14" off the tank... Hope my corals don't brown out fish seem more comfortable My black tang ate pellets off of my arm while picked up the seagrass...

ok I'll bite, why were there pellets stuck to your arm? new feeding technique?

I think with the VHO's providing "background" lighting and the pendent doing its slow crawl that would be a cool effect. Tobin, how long does it to go from A to B.

Maybe its something like the peanut butter and a dog thing.

I had just fed the tank when i got the call that someone wanted all my seagrass from the display tank... Re-aquascaping again... Found some nice things under all that grass too...

Really slow... I got the fastest one 10 rpm's... It takes about 6 minutes to go from left to right and back again.. I can set it to go faster though..

[georgelc86]

Wouldnt slower be better.

[Bob 1000]

Yeah, but it's a new toy so I gotta push it..

I'm very confused. Wouldn't you want the pendant to go across the tank only once in a lighting cycle (one day)?
