I work at the fish store that had all those Clarion Angels and the owner, my boss was holding them for the supplier who cauht them and then they were going to be shipped out. But agent sps your tank is amazing and I have recently set up a 300 gallon tank but mine doesn't compare at all to yours. Great work and keep it up!

I am still using the netting. I have two nets I made. One is 1/2" and the other is more like 5/8 - 3/4". You can pick it up at Lowes in the fence materials section in gardening. I believe its called deer netting.

Thanks for the props! I am in your shop probably once a week. I need to pressure Ken into getting more SPS in.

Erik,
As a guess, a new light fixture?

My first guess would be a light, based on box, not necessity! But that's a helluva box/crate/pallet combo for a light!

Looks great Erik, Really when you think about it and you see the way these people crate things I don't think they are really all that expensive. I can tell you it is crated better by them than it was by the manufacturer. But then again it would be very expensive for the manufacturer to package like this. But then again it sure would cut down on damaged products.
Here is a pic of how I recieved it when I got it from the dealer

All-
Just wanted to let you know I decided to stick with the Spectra afterall. When I purchased the Sfiligoi I did not take into account that it weighed nearly double what the Spectra does. It was going to be a big engineering project to hang it over my tank and it just wasn't worth it in the end. I sold the fixture to a buddy of mine so it worked out okay in the end.
I did, however, swap out my PFO ballast for Lumatek this weekend and am blown away with the results!! For those who are not familiar with these, they are switchable. Meaning you can run them at 250w, 275w, 400w, and 400w overdrive.
Comparing a Reeflux 400w driven by PFO HQI next to a Reeflux 250w driven by Lumatek @ 275w, the 250w bulb was as bright if not brighter than the 400w. Also after an hour of running the Lumatek on both 275w and 400w overdrive it was just slightly warm to the touch. Super impressed so far!

I don't believe they are the same. Lumatek is a UK based company. I originally heard about them from someone in Europe running them (maybe Leonardo?).

Maybe someone can chime in and shed some more light (sorry for the pun).
