	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.

I am new in this stuff...

i may not need such high power light yet... will it work this way?
is this possible to put in 3x250W bulk for now... when i need the power later, i then switch them to 3x400W?

thx

This hood comes with 400w ballasts that drive 400w bulbs. You can't use 250's with it. Sorry

It's coming along.. I had a bit of a die off with my montiporas. Apparently they don't like the heavy lights. They are making a slow com back. I have a nice collection of acros now growing.

Basically with taking down the 55 and setting up the 150, I went back to square one. I also got rid of some colonies that had gotten big. I kind of like to watch things grow.

I just got a new professional camera so I'm hoping to get some nice shots. I'll post some on here soon. Here is one I just took.

Lighting wise I'm running 3 DE 250. After years of going without a skimmer, I've decided to finaly get one. Doing water changes on the little tank was no big deal. Changing 20 to 30 gallons of water in this tank every week is breaking my back.. so I'm buying a Tunze skimmer.
