    Hey Jeff, you should be ok since you have plenty of room between the canopy and the acryllic. It shouldn't get too hot, especially if you put a small fan in there. Hope that helped. Matt.

    Tell you what, if you end up getting your hands on a third 250, swap them for my 2 400 watters.
    I'm thinking about downgrading anyway to save $$$ on that Ca. elect. bill.

    Hey guys, where you located. I'm new to this northwest thing. Just moved to Vancouver on Saturday.

    stang...as long as you have a bunch of airflow, and have a good 5-8" of a gap, I think you should be OK. Just keep a look out for it, and make sure it doesn't get hot. Warm is OK.

    Heheh, right here in Vancouver WA. The reason I left was due to a job offer in our favorite industry (more on that soon). It is proving to be a great opportunity, and I thought "what the hell, I only live once". So I packed my bags, kissed my girlfriend goodbye (that was tough...doin the long distance thing is going to be the worst part of my move), hopped in a U-Haul and drove 10 hours to this rainy place called the northwest. The energy bills are sure going to be SWEET! I was paying around $175 per month for a two bedroom apartment. Here, electricity is cheap, rent is cheap, income is better, people are laid back, and there isn't much for traffic, even in rush hour! Its good to be out of sacramento, and back into suburbia.

    Well, Perry, glad to have you up here. I'm going the other way in July. Back to sunny SoCal!!!!!! Yeah, the electric bill will be more, but at least I can be broke on the beach!! You're lucky to have good people to deal with up here. I'm going to miss all the great local reefers. Have fun!! Matt.
    Are you going to change your name to PerryinWa?

    LOL!

    Nope, not a porn star (unfortunately), and surely not working for the LFS, but working with some lights. Speaking of the LFS, where are the good ones? I have been to Waves in portland, but thats it.
