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).

thats way better than the big als one! 760w total!

do aquatraders ship to canada? if so thats the one im gonna get

**cocoa_pleco** · 10-25-2007, 09:46 PM

i looked in the FAQ and they ship to canada so i for sure am gonna order one.

thanks for the link!

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

Yah, that looked like a cool unit. I hope it works out well!

**cocoa_pleco** · 10-26-2007, 12:25 AM

thanks!

it even has coolers in it, which is good. i should have about 14w/g with it so i can get high light corals

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

(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!

**cocoa_pleco** · 10-26-2007, 02:21 PM

and that i am! i bought $1000 of american money because of it!

**cocoa_pleco** · 10-27-2007, 12:50 AM

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 http://www.bigalsonline.ca/BigAlsCA/...powercompact12

true? if so i'll order it

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
