ok, so now I have this 250 watter bad boy, now what? My house is still in limbo and I need to get this light up, or else buy another CF bulb. I cant mount in the ceiling at the parents place (where the tank is residing while house is waiting inspection). I saw on the aqua medic site that they have a pair of optional legs for it but no pic to view or price or anything. Anybody heard of this? also, any links or prices with availability would be awesome.


on a side note, i am finally putting the bryopsis on its death bed(knocking on wood). But now the CF bulb is changing and needs to be killled as well, should I get a new bulb anyway? what are your thoughts....corals are starting to look kinda "melancholy"

ok firstly the byyopsis is an interesting species, closely resembles us with the clotting factor when damaged, ur sick of keep this species?
or just making room for something else?

secondly, if ur moving i would suggest if possible in the short term to go with a new compact bulb, that way u dont really have to worry to much about the lighting if ur animals are used to this intensity

third is the kind of thing u are after in the way of legs?
