Canon's are great also... But I already have lots of nikor glass, so I didn't look very far!! :) But really it's like talking: Chevy is better then ford or vise versa.... Doesn't really matter as long as it gets the job done! :wink: Take Care RC

Thanks! Len!! The only thing I did with that shot was to crop, and shrink a little 5+Meg down to 128k But nothing else. But I'll be up all night I would guess.... Just playing with the new toy!! Thanks again for the EV info... RC

Just received a Nikon D70!! This is one of the first shots I took! Once I figure out how to use this beast, I hope to be posting more! Take Care! RC

Well, after reading some more on the whole lighting issue... I have made a deceision........ I have deciedied stay right where I'm at till I read some more about it. BOMPH: I rang a bell with me about the SPS and clams... I don't really plan on either of the two living with me, and I was just...

I think I'm going to throw all my swing-arm hydrometers away... Example.. From the same tank. First swing-arm reads 1.023, 2nd swing arm reads 1.027.. So then, in goes the floating glass hydrometer, and it reads 1.020? Wonder which one I should write down in my log book? refractometer is...

Funny you mention that... My wife asked the same question last night.. Said what if something happens to the new lights? Wouldn't you want to keep a "spare" if you need to switch back in a hurry? Good Point! 8)

I'll 2nd that!! :D

Thanks for the great post.... I knew the head thing was a common mis-conception. So I really wasn't worried about using a chiller. But I never really thought about it in the way you stated it... Thanks again. B.T.W. I'm making a trip this weekend to pick up a MH system!! :D

Okay!! Well, looks like I'll be looking at going MH... Thanks for the info! :D Looks like a Coralife 48" 260W PC setup will be hitting ebay soon.

I guess a good question to ask is not which one is better for me, but is 500W PC = 500W MH? Would they both give the same result?

BOMPH: Yeah, it's a new system, Born 01/23/04! I also thought about just cutting down on photo period. if I went with the total upgrade to MH. browncj7: No I'm currently not using a chiller, But I live OH (Cold!) Oh! I see you do too! :) and have AC for the summer months.

Well, I thought I would be happy with my 260W PC lights.. But... Seems like everything I'm interested in, requires large amounts of light... Okay... Here's my question. I have a 75G 48x18x20 with a 260W PC lighting system on it.. (About 1 month old!) I have enough room on top to put a 2nd light...

Well said Simon!! :)

Jonhs120: That's what I was worried about... "in home pollutants, bugs, etc." getting into the tank. Thanks to both of you for putting my mind at ease. Looks like I'm keeping my top on! :)
