Re: Halogen Shop Lights

Quick correction on this: We do NOT use these lights.  Halogen lights are
awful for tanks.  The have the wrong color temperature (3400K), the use up
way too much heat... basically they're slightly better than normal
incandescents.  Kathy thought you were referring to the fluorescent
shoplights when she wrote her reply, and I was too holed up with the flu
yesterday to remember why I didn't reply in the first place. :)
