Haha ... in time, in time. It's not too easy to put a full blown reef in a tiny ass bedroom ya know? The joy's of living at home with your parents.

Does anyone have any USEFUL information or input/feedback on these pendants? Sheesh.. leave my 20g alone.

Are you buying a used pendant?

Scott I used the 250W penant over my 24g gallon for a while and was happy enough with it but missed the supplimental lighting so I went back to my 175W/VHO fixture.
I do use the Geisemann 250W/T5 fixture over my 44g cube and could not be happier. The Geisemann true actinic are very blue so it is a nice combination with the megachrome bulb.

Thanks Ruth. I think I'll go ahead with the upgrade... the price is good and it will help me out big time down the road. I actually am not even a big fan of actinics anymore.. they dont do much for me. I'd much rather have a good quality pendant setup.

I'll let everyone know what goes on

Picked up the pendant tonight.. until we figure out a DIY hanging method we are just going to use some 2x4's to mount it up for now.

Pretty sweet pendant.. and I like the 14k Hamilton in it.. a nice crisp icey white/blue mix.

I'll post pics when it's up.
