Has anybody had any experience with them (good or bad)? I was thinking of purchasing one. Also, what is the water temperature like? Am I looking at buying a chiller as well? Thanks. =)
HI I have an aquapod 12 w\ 70w HQI. I love it!!! As for the temp.. my house stays at 78 and my tank stays at 80. I had a problem with my ac the other day and my house got to 83 and my tank stay at 81. Hope This Helps! ;)

I have the 24 pod with 150 MH lighting, tank stays from 78-80 now with room ac on on the hot days. I have a 7 inch fan on my RK2 set to turn on if the temp goes above 80. I am in NY.

I have the 150 Watt HQI 24 Gallon as well, I run a pretty constant 79 degrees with no issues. I don't use the glass shield and use eggcrate instead.

ArgonDreams, you should think about using the glass shield on your light , if that if the one you are talking about. The way I understand it, it blocks most of the UV. Maybe you have another shield you are talking about.
