Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I ran a 2.5 gal for a couple of years, using a 150w HID. Great choice of lighting, it was fully stocked with SPS, softies and LPS. That was a few years ago when HQI (DE) lamps weren't available yet so i was using an Iwasaki 150w 6500K. I don't see how you can go worng with the Sunpod.
