    Without reflector perhaps, but did the DE have the glass filter? Furthermore, a DE must always be run with a reflector, so those numbers are irrelevant in a way. Let's say the SE is more powerfult than a DE without reflectors. When would you find a DE bulb without a reflector? The...

    SE vs. DE

    The two bulbs are virtually identical. Put a glass bubble over a DE bulb and you basically end up with an SE bulb. It all comes down to the reflector. In fact that big glass bubble on an SE bulb is a UV shield. DE bulbs don't have this shield. DE = smaller bulb = more efficient reflector...

    MOORISH IDOLS... How to keep em' without a "Four Leaf Clover"

    I wouldn't recommend the putting holes in the bag and float it method. Some stores use copper and you wouldn't want that seeping into your tank. Your LFS may be an exception.

    A 750g SPS system is born
