Current USA Sunpod

Does anyone have any experience with the Current USA Sunpod fixtures? This
would be my first MH fixture, and I'm a little concerned that even the 150
watt version (2-150 watt lamps, no actinics) will push the temp of the tank
(75 gallon, all softies and one LPS) up past an acceptable range if mounted
on the tank (do not really want to hang the fixture, if avoidable). Anyone
using this type of fixture already, if so I would appreciate any experiences
you have had.

Thanks - Patrick

Too many variable to say one way or another dude. No telling what temp
your house is kept at as ambient temp plays a part in tank temps as
well. Odds are MH will add to your tanks temp, so buy a chiller or
suspend it. IMNSHO MH is kind of overkill for what you have inthe
tank ain't it? Not considering the cost of the light assembly you can
also count on your power bill to relect the increase as well. How
about when its heating season (assuming you live in an area where its
imperiative to have heat in the winter / fall or early spring months
and AC in summer months.....Sure is a ot of money for something that
really is not needed if things have been doing fine all this time, and
can only add to heat issues which may or may not be able to be
overcome.,................without additional expenses.

No one has any experience with the sunpod fixtures they can pass on?
