Hi all,

Just finished reading Marine Reef Aquarium Handbook by Dr. Robert J.
Goldstein, in which he mentioned on the lighting section that MH are
only good for the first 4 to 6 hours, and that after that, they generate
heat and that VHO is the way to go.

My tank is about 1 1/2 years old, with a 175 W MH pendant, and I've had
no problems with heat or any other matter, except when I allowed the
first bulb to get old--this caused my bubble coral to shrivel up, and
today continues that way, and a hawaiian feather duster that I lost also.

Can anyone offer their opinion on the matter.

TIA,

Richard
