usually Ebo-Jagers are good, and I have had the same submersible one from them for over 10 years with no troubles
another good one IMO is the Visi-Therm I have used these for years also with no troubles
of course, since I was just there for thanksgiving, and it will be awhile before i get there again, lol I came to charlotte, ... it was fun, but I wish I could have seen your tank though, ...
I must be missing something, but what are these things? I assume they can benefit your tank, as I have seen many people talk about them all over on other forums, ... but what are they???
ranger, you can always add extra support and use the added 6 inches in the rear (or front) of the tank to hold things, like supplies or food while it is thawing or something, ... make it useful
i say go with VHO's over the PC any day and then you can use the actinic whites as stated above to add a varying spectrum to your already fully lit corals.
