Tom are you 100% on that. For some reason I thought it was different manufacturers or differt ballast types... ie electric, pulse, etc.
Im inclined to agree because my 150 is the top one and my 250 is the bottom but if you look online they only show generic pictures of HQI bulbs next to the...
I have two fixtures one by current and one by Hamilton Reefstar.
Some HQI bulbs don't have the propper slot ends to fit in current's fixtures. The reefstar pendant only fits these bulbs.
The Currents fit these..
See the different ends.... how can you tell which company makes which bulb?
I think that's a great idea, to run the lower wattage light in the summer. Not alot of people have that option so if you do then that's definitely the way to go. I almost wish I had another light fixture now.
Wayne give us a little background on your tank.

Those will do for now. You came to the right place. We'll help you out.
It's worth the trip just to see the displays. I can't afford to shop there though. Can't blame the guy though cause he's in a prime area with a great big store, four displays and a decent amount of employees. Still worth the trip just to see the two giant tanks.

I guess that's why the instructions warn you about the vibration. Otherwise everyone would probably return them right away or not buy them at all.
It's a...
Dave, sorry to hear it.
I lost alot of Acros to when I moved them to my holding tank to treat for redbugs.
It wasn't a heater but for some reason my corals where RTNing and STNing like crazy. I lost about half a 5gallon bucket in Acros.
Hope it doesn't keep you down.

That's awesome. I was shocked the first time i saw my cerith snails lay eggs and now they do it every two weeks. Maybe you got a good one and she'll keep doing it. Good luck with them.
Larry, those are some hot colors.
Brian, not sure where larry's getting them but they have them on LiveAquaria sometimes. Those mushrooms run just as much as expensive Yumas. $50-$100 for a single shroom.
search: Rhodactis Inchoata or Bullseye mushroom.
