Okay I know you guys are tired of my lighting questions but I'm going to as another one. Would you rather run a 250 watt halide on your tank for 6 hours OR run a 150 watt halide on your tank for 10 hours? Adam ------------- Come to a meeting, they�re fun! |

Would you rather run a 250 watt halide on your tank for 6 hours OR run a 150 watt halide on your tank for 10 hours? 150 for 10 hrs Would you rather run a 150 watt 10k bulb or a 250 watt 20k bulb? 250 watt 20K The heat issues scare me. (especially since I don't have a thermometer) It really shouldn't be a problem. Fans will fix any problem you might encounter. If you don't already have an auto top-off I can build you one, cause your going to evaporate lots of water. Adam, a thermometer is like $3, it's a good thing to have. ------------- Jon https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6y_EzjI_ljbIwf2n5uNzTw" rel="nofollow - What I've been doing... |

Dang, now I'm really confused. Those were the exact opposite answers I was expecting from Jon.

Those are my answers to the posed questions, but I really should have just answered: 250W 10Ks for 10 hrs to both questions ------------- Jon https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6y_EzjI_ljbIwf2n5uNzTw" rel="nofollow - What I've been doing... |
