Hey Blue what did you do with old setup? Might know a guy that would be interested in it if you still have it.

Crap Metal Halides work great in grow rooms too.

Yes, it was a temporary solution but now i kinda like it, it's cool waking up in the morning with the fish tank right next to you.

Re: Help with Lights...and setup!
So i finally found a way to install the lights that doesn't involve having to attach them to the ceiling. It's got enough clearance where i can put any rock in and out, pull any kind of equipment without having to remove the lights, and reach the bottom of the tank without a problem. We'll see how the corals do.
