This is a 38 gallon with a 150 watt DE bulb (Iwasaki 50K) and IceCap electronic ballast. A very nice combo.

Has that tang had lateral line disease? anyway back to the thread. Hello bar have you checked out my tank GT'S tank ? thats lit with 6x 150 watt 14000k bulbs and 1x 250 and i'm managing excellant growth under them, 12 inchs off the water. Are you contamplating the arcadia bulbs? they'v managed to keep the brightness whilst having lots of blue very asthetically pleasing to the eye! good luck

No, it's the picture of health. It's an aberrant Zebrasoma scopas tang. See the article linked above.

There are many cross breads zebrasoma scopas, from a true yellow ( flavescenes) to a true black which to the inexperienced could look like a rostratum?

greg,
what are the dimensions of your 38? the height in particular?
how long have you had the 50k for?
what kind of growth are you getting on the sps?
TIA

The dimensions are 24L x 18W x 20H.

I've been using the 50K for approx 6 mos. The lone Acropora coral is growing and maintaining it's green color.
