AquariumSpecialty.com carries them now too, for the same price, but their shipping is half of what zeovitusa charges.

[reefsahoy]

jwre, i'm going to visit amsterdam in the near future and tried booking in your hotel but it was full. can i swing by to see you tank and are there any good aquarium stores in the area of central station?

Very nice. They seem to have done well for you.

This is a great thread but would 4X24" T5HO work for for a tank that is 25"x21"x16"?

i believe it would work. however, it must be individual reflectors and what is important is bulb selection, and i can't express that enough! if you use too much white the corals won't pop color as much.

21" wide? No you would not have the coverage you need. The tanks is shallow so you could spread out the lamps if you did retrofit.

lol the formula goes 25" wide 21" deep and 16" high
