    Acutually a Sony moment ::)

    I will be ungrading my lights to 2 X 250watt MHs AquaSunlight, has 2 actincts, a moonlight and 2 X 10,000K bulbs. Should be good i guess, but you think its a little to much for a 3ft tank??

    hey mango, how big is ur tank? I have a 3*1.5*1.5, and will be putting a 250W halide over it to compliment my twin fluros. I think that 2 250W halides MIGHT be a bit much, how about 2 175W 10000K halides? that would be nice but expensive. neways, good luck with ur acros.
