Dispar_Anthias Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 maybe .... but think that a bigger worry is that too many r going into it which might cause more problems : 1) Prices going UP ! 2) Some guys might not be fully ready for SPS ( lights, water conditions ....etc ) 3) RTN due to the above hence more damage to the Reef !!! 4) SPS might be another Nemo craze that comes n goes by like a storm !!! Sad ending again !!! 5) ALso , the supply of SPS is always there .... u will be able to get SPS ... just a matter of time .... Last but not least .. all those that r ready , ie tank wise n mentally n of course pocket wise too ... join the SPS bandwagon Like Morgan , Phang n AT ..... namely !!! Just disturbing him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regard, Kenji80 2 pieces of 250W MH would be the ideal choice since your tank is 2ft deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Kenji80 Posted November 27, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 27, 2003 Hi Morgan, Thanks for your advice. BTW how many Ks are needed for both 250 watts MH and what is single ended and double ended? Thanks. Regards, Kenji80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Kenji80 The different betwen SE and DE is the way the bulb is mounted. SE is like your normal screw on incandescent blub wherelse DE look like a flourescent where the contact is at both ends. DE lack the UV protective glass jacket so it is very important to have a UV sheilding glass or else it will give your corals a really bad sunburn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member LinkinPark Posted November 27, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 27, 2003 DE lack the UV protective glass jacket so it is very important to have a UV sheilding glass or else it will give your corals a really bad sunburn The UV from my previous 150w de murdered many of my corals & $, until I changed to a SE 250w.
