Re: German Light Bar Question

Actually, that was a bad comparison. I went back and reviewed those photos and I think that was when my step up transformer went out and I was then using 300w of PCFs. Here is a shot of the same tank with the 150 dual HQI MHs but from a previous set-up so the 'stuff' is different but will be a more accurate comparison with the lighting.

Sorry

Re: German Light Bar Question

Me thinks you are gonna like the 250s!!!!

As for the algae, it is really tough to tell from that pic. I don't think it is hair algae though.

Re: German Light Bar Question

Well, you were right about the 250s, the acropora are loving them - I've noticed lots of growth already. I'd post some photos but someone broke into our home yesterday and my camera didn't make it. Will start adjusting the photoperiod up a bit.

Geez, sorry to hear about your house that really stinks!!!!!!

It is good to hear about the lighting tho, and it is good to hear that you are adjusting your photoperiod, you don't want to shock the little guys!!!
