    [ Part 2.2: "Attached Text" ]

Hi All,

I thought I'd chime in on the AH discussion...

I have an AH setup: a single 96w bulb over a 50G tank and it pushes a lot 
of light!  But like a lot of you I'm considering
upgrading- maybe putting a second bulb in my setup.. I'm thinking maybe 
I'll put a few t8s in there. 

 If your not to handy you can even buy a wood box that you can install the 
bulbs into... Check this out:
http://www.ahsupply.com/finished_enclosures.htm [www.ahsupply.com].  The 
electrical wiring wasn't to hard....

The only bad thing I have to say about AH setups is that I have had a hard 
time finding replacement bulbs locally (96 watt,
34.1", 6700k, 4 ping square, bulb).  I called all around and the only 
place that was selling them was the fish store on
Roosevelt (and they were selling it for twice as much as AHsupply)!!!  I 
just don't like the idea of having to have a bulb
shipped in from NY when it blows out.   AHsupply are good people though, I 
just had a defective bulb (it lasted about 3 weeks)
and they are sending me out a replacement at no cost. 

Later,

Berg
