I have said overdrive whith a electronique ballast they only cost 35$ or a ice cap If your
good in calcul you would even save on long run whith an ice cap

never forget that No fluorescent could never give you the full spectrum of a MH buld and the beautifull color that they give to you tank . [/QB]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">actualy this is far from the truth.. there is a far greater selection of NO tube colours than you can imagin.. MH is still very limited in its colour selection as are PC bulbs. the problem is that NO bulbs are not as intense as MH so you can't get the amount of light you need in deeper tanks.. but as far as colour goes NO is more virsitile than MH anyday IMHO

you could never achieve the magical look given by a MH even if you mix all the fluo in the world do you have ever see shimering effect in a tank light with fluo? a tank light with MH alway look more alive

but your are probably right an that why in a couple of years all reef will be convert whith
your new bulb
