cocoa,

Have you seen these? I know they are not a big name company, but the MH units got good feedback on the forums (at least what I saw).

i ordered it, and it will take 10-14 days to get here. right before i get it im going to have to move my lowlight corals in the shade so they dont get burnt.

gotta love the price for it, even $600 is cheap for something that good

Aren't you glad that our dollar is worth more than the US dollar now Cocoa? :14: :ezpi_wink1:

(sorry, I had to throw that in there, it's just more enjoyable for us Canadians to browse through magazines or US websites now that we don't have to almost double the price we see)

Anyway, very nice unit, hope it works well for you!

one more question.

while im at it with lights, my 5.5g is ready for corals and needs some serious upgrading.

ive heard that this guy is good for 5.5g's [Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

EDIT- i emailed big als customer support because for some reason the canadian big als says its $90 while the american big als has it for $50
