[sjm1978]

hi i have a 24g aquapod i keep zoos/mushrooms/gsp and im gonna start getting rics. rightnow i have a current usa orbit 2x40w PC fixture. my zoos are ontop. i have greenbay packers/whamin watermelons/ and other zoos not sure. my zoos grow really fast but with the pc light the colors dont show good at all only when the actincs are on alone. im gonna be buying a new light today but im not sure if i should go with a current usa sunpod HQI MH 70w or go with the 150w. please let me know what you guys think. if i get the 150w ill have more bulb options. but if the 70w is good enough for my corals ill get that.

I am from Green Bay and religiously love the packers. I have never seen green bay packer corals.. please post a pic! Do you have a frag..hehe

I love those MH fixtures as I have one very similar.. the K2 Viper.. The 70 would be OK but I would definetely go with the 150 as you will see much of a difference. You will also probably want more corals in the future.

here are mine there just frags rightnow. the light doesnt show the color very good but under the actinics there amazing.

notice the small colony of greenbay packers to the right also and the ones you see closed up are greenbay packers and whammin watermelons. the reaseon the closed is they were FW dipped the night before when i added them to the tank. there all opened now.
