Chuck,
What types of corals do you keep? How many lights/watts and what mix do you
use and what size tank is it?
TIA,
Shane C.

Glenn,
Ron H gave me this information for VHO bulbs back in
November...Since then every thing is so-much better...
He recommends URI bulbs for the actinic (blue-only)
spectrum..."Triton and Ultralume" are brand names for daylight bulbs...He
does not recommend them. Pick up a Pet Warehouse Catelogue...you should see
these names
The daylight lamp he recommends (for 5 years+) is the Sylvania VHO
product he sells at the shop. I was dead-set to use the URI daylight lamps
and 9 months after I did... the "alage" started (red-shift on the daylight
lamps). In December-January 2001, I re-lamped with the Sylvania product and
you should see how the corals act...AS USUAL RON H. IS STILL BATTING 1.000
WITH ME (for over 3 years).
Give Ron a call this week (570-321-7333) at his shop and you'll have
"one-less-thing-to worry-about" If he's not there, Sue is very competent in
answering questions...She helped me quite alot.
Take care,
Chuck

I have had a 175 watt mh and two 36" vhos on my tank for
almost two years
now. After talking to Ron and to try something different I
am going to go to
all VHO and NO fluorescent. With some help I have decided
to go with two NO
actinic in the front then a daylight vho 36", actinic,
daylight, actinic.
Ron also suggested that I put one NO Ultralume bulb in the
back. I would ask
him but he has been very generous with his time and I know
he is busy. I was
also wondering what a Triton bulb was too. I can't find the
Ultralume bulb
anywhere and was wondering what it was similar to from
another manufacturer.
Thanks for all the suggestions concerning my friend's 500
gallon tank. Just
to let you know he chickened out and sold the tank for
$1000.
Glen
