I think what youre looking for is a retro fit kit and addition of pendants and what ever else retro fitted lighting you like!!! just in curiosity how many gallons is your tank?!  |
nope not to much at all, the tank is a 27 gal, with a 27 gal sump. The tank its self is going to be predomantly SPS. my last tank was 3X2X2 and I had two SE bulbs run by true M80 ballasts and a awsome reflector system with two VHO actinics which were overdriven. the VHO ran 14 hours a day and the MH ran 10 hours a day. this new tank will be a shallow reef type enviorment consisting of very light demanding corals.
a retro fit could work but I was trying to not have a canopy on top this time, if I can't find what will work for me I may have to go with a canopy and retrofit.. I just wanted the clean lines that a geisemann type light gives.
