Looking to upgrade to a MH fixture for my bc29. I know that a lot of people run the 20" sunpod with a lot of success(I would like to hear what you guys think about your sunpods). I was just wondering if the 24" outer orbit will fit on the 29? or for that matter what MH fixtures will all fit. Also i was wondering for those of you running Halides over your cubes what wattage you are running 150 or 250 and your successes or failures with them. Is 250 too hot or not?

Lots of ?'s I know. Thank you to all of you reefers in advance

nickxp just put a 250w on his AP24. I think he said everything is doing well.

what are you planning to keep in there? That is going to be a huge factor.

I run a 175w on my BC14 and love it!!

Streetjudge-
I am assuming you have the 20", but what wattage you running? the 150 or the 250. Whats the depth on the tank youre using it on, and what sorta temp swings do you see when the lights turn on etc.
thanks
