New Mushroom Added

Can you send me the link to your new thread? I am wanting to keep an anemone and am interested to see what everyone has to say.

 

It says 48 inch 6 x 54 watt

 

DId you hang it or use the mounting legs? Does it get very hot? Do you miss not having the moon LED lights?

Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure I get the right fixture

 

I use the mounting legs. I just slide it back when I have to get in the tank. I never had moon lights. It does put out a lot of heat, but it has a built in fan that comes on when the lights come on.

 

Thanks so much!!!

 

You are quite welcome ....

 

Would it still work if I hung it? The fixture is 12inches wide and I have a bowfront so it will not fit. I will have to get the hanging mount (which they sell) and hang it about 8 inches above the water. That is where the top of my canopy is. The top is all open so I can remove the glass lids and let the light shine down. Do you think that would work?

Thanks everybody.....I'm so nervous....it is a big investment and a final decision

 

I know how you feel. It is a big investment. That's why I asked so many questions about the lighting on here before I bought mine. Good luck !!!

 

My only hang up is that I found a 716w (MH and T5 mixture) fixture for the same price. It is an odyssea - I know I read the thread, but all the reviews that I found about the fixture were good. They were from people that have had the fixture for several years.

 

If I had it to do all over I'd try one of those two. They get a lot of bad and good press though.

 

Sunshine - I wanted to say thanks for the light advice. I got mine in and I love it!!

Whatever happened with your anemone? I got one today and it looks great, it bubbled up and turned colors, and then took off under the rocks. It is 12" big and I am not sure how I am going to feed it with it hiding.

 

The Anemone is still alive. It is on the side of a rock near the back of the tank. I can't get to it to feed it either. It still opens up. I'm glad you like your lights. You need to post a pic of yours.
