I've read about that lighting fixture before- needs a lot of modification to make it bearable- the fans are noisy and tend to break, the legs aren't that sturdy, etc... but it is cheap!
I'm really thinking of biting the bullet and modifying my 20" ORbit PC fixture with a 70w MH retro kit (wish they made one stock) If I plan on doing this, how long can I allow my tank to go without lights while I get this up and running?
btw- if I were to get a 24" Orbit MH system for my 16 g do you guys think 150w MH lighting + the PCs will simply be way too much heat and/or light for my LPS and softies? thanks! (and sorry for the temp. hijack ink!)
