just wondering

[Bebo77]

what type of bulbs do you use for your prop tanks?

i can see from your website that you use 400watters

"Motorized Light Rail System
Double Ended 400 watt HQI Metal Halide lighting fixtures fired from electronic ballasts drive back & forth along an aluminum track to provide even light distribution to all corals regardless of their placement inside of each raceway, as well as to prevent hot spots"

I was at the first swap they had and found their operations incredible. We are very proud that our pendants, ballasts and bulbs were selected by LiveAquaria.
