This tank http://www.utahreefs.com/heil.html was lit with 2 150 watt halogen and 2 40 actinic fluorescents. The gallery is outdated, since these pics are several years old. Anyway, Mark is right - the halogens are very yellow. I ran them without any type of filter. I called GE once and they indicated the color temp was around 3500 Kelvin. Not ideal - but I was able to keep soft corals and even a LT anemone. (that is still very happy in my new tank). ]]> Mon, 24 Nov 2003 18:07:22 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1314&PID=11029&title=lighting-101#11029 <![CDATA[Lighting 101 : yeah thats what i thought. it...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1314&PID=11026&title=lighting-101#11026 Author: peregrinus

Peregrinus, those are so expensive!!  I friend of mine had an Acura Legend and put HID headlights in it for about $800.  I would assume that those would be very expensive to get for tanks.  But maybe someone will figure it out for cheap.

when I inquired at aquatica they said they had two versions, one a german one (lots of $$$$) and the other was a 20 or 25 watt chinese version.  Would take a lot of those little 20's to get enough light, and they are one piece--so you can't really mount a reflector behind them.  I have mh and actinic pc's.  Seems to work good for me.]]> Mon, 24 Nov 2003 12:24:25 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1314&PID=10999&title=lighting-101#10999 <![CDATA[Lighting 101 : As far as I know these is no local...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1314&PID=10995&title=lighting-101#10995 Author: Jake Pehrson

As far as I know these is no local company that sells the T-5 HO bulbs.  All the T-5s available locally are NO (at least I think so).]]> Mon, 24 Nov 2003 12:00:32 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1314&PID=10995&title=lighting-101#10995 <![CDATA[Lighting 101 : Halogen are too intense in the...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1314&PID=10983&title=lighting-101#10983 Author: Mark Peterson

Halogen are too intense in the "UV2" wavelength which will burn quickly. Not recommended without a filter, plus they are so yellow, most people don't like the color.]]> Mon, 24 Nov 2003 11:15:15 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1314&PID=10983&title=lighting-101#10983
