I just received my IceCap660 ! WooHoo !
Now I have a question, my canopy is 48x24, do I space the bulbs evenly ? Like 5" apart? or do I keep them together in the center of the tank?
As a side note: my initial cost just keeps dropping, I original intended to get four GE Daylight Ultra's that were $7 a piece from WalMart. Granted $28 is a bit better than $120 for four URI VHO's from my LFS. BUT, I did a bit of research and found that Philips makes a 6500k Daylight bulb and just bought four from Home Depot for $10.98 ! (they sell them in packs of two for $5.49)

I will replace one at a time as cashflow permits, starting with a URI Actinic VHO probably today.

I was sure that anything this expensive and addicting was illegal... I keep waiting for the ATF to kick my door down and grab my protein skimmer...
