yoshiod9 Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 check out my tank in the members tank forum. i added a 70w mh in late october but i have a 96w retro in the stock hood of the eclipse and it works quite well. Link to comment

EnderG60 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 this is my 11g with a 96w power quad I like it alot. Its been a great light for me, I just wish i had a bit more room to add some more actinics..but thats personal preferance. I had some SPS in there for a while but the BTA killed itX) any softy, LPS or anenome will be fine under it, and even some SPS and I would say even a clam of at least 3" would do fine. Just make sure you keep it cool, heat can be an issue and the bulbs last ALOT longer when cooled properly. I have had this bulb for about 8 months now and its just as bright as a the new spare one i have. I am moving everything to a 15g with a 150w 20k halide. and the colors of the corals are actually pretty similar. the halide has a bit more florece to it and the water looks bluer but its pretty close color wise IMO without going to a halide with actinic supliments this is your best bet.

EnderG60 Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 zoos i have seem to double in size every 4 or so months, GPS doubles in like 2 months, candy has grown about 50% in size over 8 months but lower polyps died when the top ones grew over them so its only a bit larger. BTA is about 50% larger in the 10 months ive had him..and i dont feed it but like once every 3-4 months(i just forget and im lazy) Link to comment
