I have a jbj formosa dx 4 x 65 which( 2 10k and 2 03s) I used them for less then a month before I up graded to my 90 [acronym:ba3bd4f753="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:ba3bd4f753]. It also has the raised stands, which where extra. I also have a seaclone 100, which worked fine for my 55 [acronym:ba3bd4f753="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:ba3bd4f753](this is also only about 2 months old). I paid 265 for the lights plus 25 for the stands and 99 for the skimmer. I would sell them all for 225 shipped.

Let me know. I am in Minnesota right now, but I will be back on friday.

can you post a pics

[CBRGuy]

Here is what I have on my laptop right now. I can post some close up pics as soon as I get home on Friday. This is the first day I setup them up when I got my [acronym:0130c4d60e="Live rock"]lr[/acronym:0130c4d60e] on 5-14-04. The stands come off and the light can mount right on the tank, but I had heat issues so I used the legs.

the skimmer is to the right it is a [acronym:0130c4d60e="Hang On Back"]HOB[/acronym:0130c4d60e].

Here is a pic of the light for the manufactures web site

wich type of coral can i have with that light?
or what type of coral do you have in your tank?
i like bubble tip anemone

[CBRGuy]

You can keep any type of soft coral that you want. I just started to put coral in my tank right before I move to a 90 [acronym:2615982388="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:2615982388]. If you are using a 55 Gal I think that a BTA would live you would just have to put it higher up in the tank to get maxiumum light penetration (I would check around I don't want to steer you in the wrond direction). I know people that keep Condys and they thrive under PCs (they are more peachful and hardier them BTAs) you can also keep some hard corals too. I had a few that came on the rocks and they did really well. Shrooms and Zoos will also grow well(if you put them under too much light they grow like weeds)

Too spite what a lot of people say you can really keep a lot corals on pcs and [acronym:2615982388="Very high output fluorescent"]VHO[/acronym:2615982388] lights in a 55 [acronym:2615982388="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:2615982388]. It's just a matter of placing the corals that require more light higher. Not to say that MHs are not better. I LOVE my [acronym:2615982388="Metal halide light"]MH[/acronym:2615982388]+[acronym:2615982388="Very high output fluorescent"]VHO[/acronym:2615982388]. The only problem is that they are expensive to buy and run (my electric went up about $90 with my [acronym:2615982388="Activated Carbon"]AC[/acronym:2615982388]+lights to cool off the tank and it's only june) they give off a ton of heat.
