Chris,

One more question, what is the maximum length for the cable from bulb
to ballast?

Thanks again,
Chingchai

Thanks Chingchai I was thinking out loud. Prices of cable we all like to make it short as possible.

I believe you would be better served running T5's than the VHO chingchai. You already have ballasts that will accept either. It wouldn't be that expensive to swap the T5's out for VHO if you decide you don't like them. T5's are much much brighter than VHO regardless of wattage.

Chingchai I have always heard it is good luck for a elephant statue so I would think the real thing would be better.
As cool as they are they do really stink! They are a bit frisky too, they always try to cup me then smile or unzip the wives shirt :eek1:

CeeGee. Thanks for your advise.
I will think about it.

This article by Dana Riddle has a comment about T5 vs T12, and he is testing further to really see the difference. It still comes down to reflectors though to get all the PAR from the lamp to the tank.
I am very curious as well. UVL actinic VHOs on IC660s have always been the best, IMO.

Chingchai, Amazing progress. I like how there is refrigerant gauges hard plumbed in the system. A very good tool to have.

Thanks for the link!!! You're always a great source of reliable information!

So I think the most impressive aspect of your thread to date has to be the elephant walking up to your house. That kind of stuff happens all the time here.

I think we need a RC road trip to see this tank build in person.

Road trip.... To Thailand.... lol
