Hey Gary
It was a pleasure to finally meet you today at Marine oasis.And thank you for all your input on the lights. In case you care lol I decided to go ahead and make the switch to MH. The set-up I got I got from Petmart in Batavia and it is what you recommended. The pendant type with 2 -175 watt Mh and this one has 4 power compacts in it for a total of 780 watts.I hope to find time to get it hung in the morning than i guess just start slowly burning them in.The MH are 10k bulbs. Thanks so much again Scott

The pleasure was mine, Scott. Like I said, I've run halides since day one. A good skimmer, too. It's nice to finally see that certain LFS's recognize the fact that these tools help re-create the reef environment we seek to replicate.
Make sure to have some sunglasses handy tomorrow when you plug your new lights in and watch out for a possible outbreak of nuisance algae.
