Alright you turkey's.......
Another delima. Well only in my head. I'm sure my wife is rolling her eyes at me.
I have 4 x 65 watt power compact lights over my 29 in a canopy. I have 3 x 10K and 1 x Actinic 03. All are coralife bulbs and the 03 is only a month old. The 10Ks are from yester-year and they are going to need replacing in the not so distant future. At $25 or so per bulb I was thinking that maybe that money would best be put into a Halide retro or pendant. What do you all thinks?
Chris - I'd like to get it from you if you can get that sort of thing. I'd gladly do without the canopy and hang a pendant if that is possible. I know that most folks still run their PC Actinics with the Halide so I guess I'd have to do some sory of pendant with a place to put the compact with it. The canopy is about 6" could we do a retro kit? I have reflectors for the compacts but they aren't the best. Also sorry I haven't made it in but I still need to pick up a fish. Any chance you could tell me what you got in the other day as far as fish or shrimp. If I don't put something in there that swims or moves i think she is going to put me in there..... in large chunks. :eek1:
I'd like to eventually get into some SPS corals but mainly clams. My wife loves them. :inlove:
Or should I just keep the PCs and try a clam at the top of the tank?
