I just want to say thanks for all the previous posts. They have contained a lot of good information.
I have ordered 2 120 watt BT EX Pythons. (Master and slave unit) I ordered these on a prelaunch sale from Aloha Tropics NY.
Felix has been of great help, even answering his phone on a Sunday.
I have been impatiently waiting for these fixtures to get in for about a month now. I just cant wait to get my hands on these new lights. I am hoping to finally get rid of my metal halides and my 1/3 hp chiller for my 75gal. tank and not give Progress Energy so much of my paycheck each month.
I purchased a black oak canopy top for my tank. (Matches my stand.) It is 6 inches tall. The whole top acts as a lid. I intend to cut two holes in the top slightly smaller than each module. I will then set each module on top of the canopy directly above the holes. I then intend to staple and
glue some 1" X 1" boards also stained black around each fixture to help hold the units in place. Finally I will put a couple of some kind of black bungee cords across each unit to hold them in place for when I lift the lid. I think this will give the appearance of each module being built into the canopy top.
Any ideal's or additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
And Felix,...anything you could do to get these great units into my hands any faster would likely save an old mans life, as I am about to have a heart attack waiting on these lights.
The Pics I have seen of everyone's tanks thus far are spectacular.
Again, thanks to everyone for all the great information.
