made my 6000's into 6100's. Big difference, that's for sure. The only downer is that I think it's probably added a degree or two to my temp. It's been two days, and where my tank was usually 82 at the highest, it's now been up to 83 or 83.5 by the end of my halide cycle.
I know that shouldn't be an issue, but to me, it's just a degree away from being in a danger zone, (or close to it.)

Guess I'll look at ways to get it down another degree, I sure don't wanna hook up my chiller. (was hoping I could sell it soon, and forget the electric bill going even higher. )

Put some fans blowing on the surface of your tank, that will help temp allot.

$150 for both, plus $10 shipping. Cheapest I'd seen 'em, and most places don't even have 'em.
