	Aqualight Fixtures
inkodinkomalinko Fish Guru Posts: 2441 Kudos: 833 Registered: 18-Jan-2003	I was wondering if theres any pros or cons in using those legs? I know it gives you the high tech look, but would it decrease the actual wattage?<br><br>Has anyone used these fixtures?<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>(BTW, the one I'm planning to get is the Aqualight 48" 2x65 watts 6,700K)

In a freshwater tank to keep the hot lighting fixture off the glass top and prevent the heat from cracking the glass, 2. In a saltwater tank to provide separation from the tank water and evaporation that would c9orrode or short the fixture. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright

At their cost it is worthwhile to keep them from getting wet! __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright
