Thanks for the link. A club will be great! Heck having a couple real LFS will be nice. I've never lived near a real city. In a one and a half hour radius we have one real LFS and one "pet shop" that has some salt water fish and softies.
Thanks for the reply, Marc. Maybe they thought I was asking about the reflectors. Thats great if they have glass shields. They have the LumenMax 2s on sale though, and I guess they recently changed the reflector design of the LumenMax 2 and I haven't been able to find much information on it. I think it will have more of a wider spread than the Lumenbrights? I am going to be lighting a 72 by 24 by 25H tank with three 250W, whats the consensus on the best LumenBright for the job? (wide, mini, large) Did you see a noticeable difference in color or brightness between the magnetic and the e-ballast?
First of all, Aquarium Specialty sells Lumenbright Reflectors and Lumenbright Pendants. The pendants come with glass, and a black outer shell. That is what I have over my tank. I'm using three Large Pendants. I've been running 400w Radium bulbs for years. I used a DIY magnetic ballast, and currently the Coralvue 400w e-ballast.
Hi Aaron. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your current tanks and the upcoming tank once you move. There's a club in Cleveland too. http://www.reefaddicts.com/group.php?groupid=86
