Thanks a good Question

I hope so. I have no space for a second ballest.

Two more weeks?

Are you Kidding!?!

 

[bigzman]

Tell me about it.

Tell me about it.

Might even be more.

The ballasts will be a "dual" unit, or you can run separate electronic ballasts.

SLS is waiting to receive the proper packaging material to ship the hoods. They are able to ship to us via our house pallet order, but unfortunatley the hoods would not come in enough packaging for us to ship it back out via UPS/FedEx yet. SLS is anticipating being able to ship via common carrier within the next week or so.

I sure hope these things are going to be worth the wait!

 

[bigzman]

I hope so to.

I hope so to.

It has been one heck of a wait. What sucks is that i will be trying frist and not reading about it. Also sucks is that all the other vendor are going to release there version. I hope that i can have it by the end of this month.

Any one notice the RC banner ad for Maristar

Any one notice the RC banner ad for Maristar

SLS has a ad at the top banner saying it is available but then you click on it says shipping soon. A little misleading. I really hope this unit is ready to ship. Just and FYI.

Howdy,
What are your thoughts on running the 36" 250 watt maristar on a 48" long tank?

I also have to say that the horrible things Im hearing about SLS's customer service and output don't really entice me into ordering.

 

[Jeremy B.]

Hi,

I don't think you would see a BUNCH of difference on a 36" hood vs a 48". You will probably notice the very ends of the tank will be a little dimmer, but if you do not plan on stacking rock all the way to the end of the tank and placing coral on it, it really won't make much of a difference. I like the look of tanks that have suspended hoods that are a few inches short on each side. It doesn't make the setup look so "top heavy".

Did you guys buy the electronic ballest or the Magnitic? Jeremy, any luck finding out what buld they are shipping with?

ZC

 

[TJcop]

I didn't have an option in regards to the ballast type. I hope it's the electronic.

 

[Jeremy B.]

The hoods will be shipping with the BLV 10k lamps.

The hoods come standard with a magnetic remote ballast. The electronic is an upgrade if you prefer to go that route.

 

[bigzman]

Great news.

Great news.

Jeremy/Moonpod,

Are the BLV brighter then the ushio? Are the BLV on the blue side.
