I would most be concerned with the light technology's performance. MH lamps are a proven means to providing adequate lighting conditions in order for our $1000's worth of corals to not only survive, but thrive. I would hope to see corals respond with a more healthy development rather than try to save $100 a year in hydro.

I guess it is a wait and see as with all technologies. Maybe I may be fortunate enough to swap out one of my Infinity pendants for one of these plasma units and test its performance.

I agree 100% hence the " if it takes off and is successful ". If you can get the same or better light performance but at a cheaper energy cost and maintence cost, someone might put out a little more in the beginning to make up over time. If not leave it alone (who cares if you can have a lightning storm right?) Looking forward to hear the results if you do get to use one. Must be fun getting all this new stuff to "test run".
