    Do you mean that you want to know what lighting they use? If so they use icecap mh pendants, IIRC 400w with IC ballasts.

    So far here is a List of the questions you guys had that couldnt be directly answered from their sites:
    As for we know they use MH lighting as horkn pointed out and the system its run on.

    1.) What are their views on LED Lighting and providing color and healthy to the home reef tank?
    2.) What decisions are made to as what fish are posted on the site and how they receive them?
    3.) Why are they not having a coral conference this year like planned?
    4.) What chemicals and additives are used in the effective growing of coral and healthier fish and inverts? (Brands types etc...)
    5.) What special care did you provide for the Bluestriped tamarin wrasse (Anampses femininus). for its success?
    6.) How do you color up your LPS corals with the stages of light/temperature etc?
    7.) What Particular care do they take in acclimating fish such as Moorish Idols/Copperband Butteflyfish/Achilles Tangs and the techniques they use? (My question, they tend to put up alot of those fish and they have horrible death rates)
    8.) (Matts) What do they have to back up their facility incase of power failure and how long will it run? (If you've ever seen Rinelander WI, It's not a big town by any means. and kinda in the middle of nowhere... or on the verge of lol)
    9.) (Matts again) Are there any fish/corals/inverts that they refuse to collect and sell, and why? (assuming laws don't prohibit it)

    Have fun!

    okay I've come up with one so far. If fish come in sick, or become sick while at the facility, what do they do? Do they do the clean water/food routine, do they medicate, or do they destroy?
