Figured I'd post these pics for Tangster. I had no idea that these things could put out so much light! I'll let him answer any questions you might have. After I post these pics, my job here is done

Those tubes are used as supplemental lighting over one of the coral propagation tanks at Tangster's place of employment so there's no tank to look at per se.

If you look lower you will see the 3 400 w M/H and VHO's on a motorized moving track that run all day back and forth LOL The tube is OK But nothing to write home about I'd not rush out and get one and have a hole in my roof LOL .. If light can get in so can water.. ):
