Re: [GSAS-Member] Light Bulbs

Link's in there twice, try the one on the left.
If these grow plants well and are long lasting they would definitely be 
a bargain. Some bulbs look great right away but lose their ability to 
perform as they age, this curve can be drastic. PC bulbs do it too.

Anyone trying metal halides on plant tanks? There are some 70 watt 
retrofit kits out being marketed for "Nano reef" aquaria at about $130 a 
setup. Seems like they would be cool for deep planted tanks, but don't 
know if they would burn the leaves.
