I was wondering if there is any effect except loosing waterproofness if I only used the end parts of the VHO endcaps and removed the rest? It's just seems to be wasted lights to cover the ends up if no need water proof. Will the bulb life be affected?

too bad didn't think of it sooner

how about a sticky poll in the reef discussion or in the powerbuy? I vote for ro/di.

If the price isn't written down, the staff might quote different prices from each other and sometimes way too much. They don't go by what's on the website either if you go there. For example, I was quoted $15 for a regular scooter blenny, and the website is $5-8. So if you go there, ask for...

does it matter if the garlic is liquid or tablet form?

I have my tank next to a window and the coralline grows very fast on the side closest to the window. I only have 3watts/gal PC and NO light and have a few frags of SPS and LPS and softies and a BTA. No problems except with temperature in the summer. I was told by some people from another...

Yeah it makes it easier maintenance IMO, I'm going to do it so I can raise and lower it with hooks and chain. Is it still a good idea to use fans if you hang VHOs?

I was thinking of hanging my VHO hood to make things easier. Anyone hang their VHOs and do you still use fans? My setup is a 48" wood box. Any suggestions about hanging the lights so I can do it right. Thanks

I'm going to add a 2 bulb icecap vho setup and looking for suggestions for bulb choice. It'll be over a 50 gal 4'Lx14"Wx18"H 1 aquasun and 1 actinic, or 1 aquasun and 1 50/50, or both 50/50, or both aquasuns. Which will be best for soft, LPS, sps corals and look good? I've read that URI...

yes peppermints will spawn readily.

I currently have 2x55 watts 6700k and 1 NO URI actinic on the icecap. It looks good but I want to use VHOs instead of PCs for the bulb length.

I got a 660 and was wondering should I send it in?
