WTB Chiller and Lighting
I am in the market for a chiller that can handle 100+ gallons and a 36" HQI MH hood set-up (2-150w HQI w/ 2/4 39w T5). I already found the lighting on Dr. F/S but just wanted to see if anyone locally had used a ones or could offer a better deal before I buy new. Let me know!
Lighting example:

I have been using the 48" 2-250 watt version at the shop in Winona and its an incredible light. They do go on sale cheaper than that tho, I bought mine for 799.99 about 5 months ago.

YES! This light has take some serious popularity increases since I got mine going on 3 weeks ago. I love it so far. The 420/460nm actinics are amazing. The only thing I changed on mine was to get rid of the 10K bulbs and got some new 14K ones right away.
Dono bout a chiller though...maybe keep your eye on the sales forums. If I find something I'll let ya know.

Yeah you aren't kidding... Scott (Jumpman420) just bought one off of ebay a 72" aqualight coralife 3x250 MH... nice looking unit and getting it for 1/2 the price of new. Sometimes ya find some deals out there.
Should be a nice light for you though Chris... glad Brad was able to hook ya up there.

ATB Cone skimmer group buy? :-) Maybe we could get $50 off or something. So it'd only be a NINE HUNDRED DOLLAR SKIMMER... lol And that would just be for a Small...
