RE:Lighting upgrade
Well we done it. We switched from VHO's to 2 aqua medic 250W HQI. WOW this looks great! We only had these a week so its too early to tell a difference in animals but the tank has never looked better. We did install these in a wooden canopy against the manufactures recommendations but with a 105cfm fan there has been no temperature issues. FYI

Awesome! The difference in appearance from VHO/PC, etc to MH is unbelievable. Hopefully all of your corals will acclimate well to the new light and all will be great!

*Scott needs to figure out a way to allow users to send their memory cards right to the site to upload pictures*
