No I'm not planning on raising clams. If I bring them over from Detroit, 9 times out of 10 if declaring it, they don't pull you in to pay duty. Problem I run into doing that is all warranties are null and void as soon as I cross the border. Sometimes it's not the company but the sellers that raise the prices like that.Less does not equate to "bad" if it's still enough.
Again, are you planning to start raising clams? They are the ones that require the bright, bright, bright lights.
One of these, resting on the tank as-rated, with a full tank of water will be fine – even for stony corals.
There are some good DIY plans for screen tops around too, BTW.
I don't know what the scene is with CurrentUSA in Canada.
Will they get you with all the same customs, et al, if you go over to Detroit and carry it back yourself?
Would it at least be worth saving the shipping that way (presuming someone over there carries that light)?
