[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 1897127, member: 31715"] Do not not feel it better to simply suggest a distance instead? Why complicate it for someone who is seeking advice. Either they need an expensive instrument to follow your advice, or they need to look online to find a chart. Of course you could provide a chart, but why not simply state a distance range (much like Arcadia has done) as opposed to a range immeasurable by the average person seeking advice. It's actually usually the opposite. The packaging is simplified and the webpage is detailed. And It's not fair to assume that whoever put together Arcadias site didn't know what they were doing. It's a big assumption. Here is a quote from their lighting article that lends credence to the fact that their guide wasn't just haphazardly put together. Either way, I think it's bad form to offer old advice simply because your bulbs you bought awhile ago still say that. The manufacturer changed their recommendation for a reason, and it is only wise to take that into consideration. Do I think 200 mw at the basking surface is too much? No, not really. But my concern is too much throughout the tank. 150, 200, 250 mW, fine, as long as their is a gradient to get away from. And the higher that basking number goes, the harder it is to achieve that low gradient to 0. -Brandon -Brandon [/QUOTE]
