Aquarium Advice Freak
I've gotten to know a guy from a lfs for the last year or so, and he has given great advice. I went to a reptile show to sell a male albino burmese python (If I sold him I'd get about $200), and he offered me a trade, and this is what it is:
A MH/Flourescent/Actnic light combo, 175 watts of MH and he isn't sure about the flourescent, but says they are comparable to PC. He said that it retails for $1500 and the reason he would trade it is because he has it on an acrylic tank thats top is so scratched that it doesn't do much good. He said that I'd need to mount it pretty high above the water or I'd have sunburned corals. They have the same fixture on a coral tank at the store that I am going to look at in the next couple days.... anything to look for?
Thanks.
