That is probably all that you need. I really depends upon what you'd like to keep and the overall "look" you want for your tank. If you answer those two questions, you'll probably get more feedback. Personally, I like a 10k MH with VHO for actinic but this is a more costly lighting setup (but...

I was looking though a catalog and saw that some UV sterilizers use PC bulbs. I was just wondering if anyone know what the spectral output of these bulbs looked like? Any color temp info? I tried the sterilizer manufacturers websites but they only said "UV bulbs" with no other details...

Anyone else have any experience with this brand in general?

I've had a lettuce nudi go through pumps with no apparent damage. I've even found it in the PS column once (still alive and fine)! I would think that pods and such suffer minimal losses.

Could give me a feel for how well made they are? How do they compare to Maxijet's in construction? Would you recommend them? Anyone else have knowledge of these powerheads?

I've come across an Azoo powerhead at Marine Depot and was wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with the powerhead/brand? Any and all feedback is welcome.
