I'm not Japanese either and I've been listening to j-pop for years :big grin: We have no idea what they are saying but it sounds cool.

I was thinking of going to the ATI Sunpower 24" 8x24W fixture. The fixture is 17.5" wide leaving around 15" for actual bulb length, my tank being 18" wide if I hang it semi low I shouldn't have much light spill. As for the corals, I am blasting the radions at 85 percent so there shouldn't be an intensity issue with the 8 bulb setup, of course lighting acclimation will be done to be safe. Anyone want to pitch in some advice or direction?

I ran a 6 bulb ATI power module on one of my reef tanks with corals near the surface and none of them showed any signs of stress. You're more likely to burn you corals on LEDs than T5s I think. I think that 24" sun power will work great over your tank. The great thing about T5s is the all enveloping spread of light that it blasts out, as opposed to the near pin-point laser beams that LEDs throw out :-)

Thanks for the info!

If you guys got some pics of your gundams I don't mind you posting it here. It will be entertaining! Since this thread has more posts about gundams than my tank anyways

Nice mobile suits...I particularly like Wing Zero

For being probably the earliest production MG gundam that I have in my collection. It looks very good, even when compared to the newer Exia model. Such a classic gundam, I remember the tv show when I was still a kid in elementary. I stayed up till 11 just to watch it on YTV.

I still watch old Gundam series online.where do you purchase your Gundams?im looking for Gundam dynames(Lockon stratos' mobile suit) but can't seem to find it anywhere in Vancouver.

I am fortunate, in Calgary there are 3 stores that sell gundams. 1 store actually specializes in gundams. You can get them at hobbylink, hobbywave which are online sites.
