Biocube14, just noticed you have the Sunpod...how do you like it and I how bright is the lighting? ATM, my tank is set up next to my couch in the living room. Also, there are no actinics correct?

sweet light they dont make the sunpod that will fit the biocube anymore though. 14k bulbs are like 50/50 lighting.

Jason has these at Aquarium Designs. I cannot remember if he has one setup though? But I would think he would pull out of the package and turn it on for you?

we used as viper 70 watt light on our 16 gallon nano for a while. it seemed to work well, and it gave the tank a nice clean look as well as allowing for evaporative cooling since there was no canopy.

Yes he does and that's what I JUST picked up about 30 mins ago! I am about to set it up and will try to post some pics when I can. This light just seemed to be the easiest and most available, so I went with it. heres to hoping it was a good decision.


Hobo, I'm guessing you liked yours then? You stated "awhile". Did you swap it with something else, or what happened?
