MH is a must now

[Saltysteve]

Lots of good input, appreciate it.
Chris:

That single bulb lights that tank up beautifully. Sure can see the center brace shadowing though. I was talking with some guys, a few ideas came forward. The first one:
Run 1 250 watt 14000k MH bulb slightly offset from center and then install my 4 X65 Watt PC lights and ballasts on either side of the brace, run 50/50 bulbs.

2nd idea:
Same as above (which is a great idea, I thought) but construct the hood to overhang over the edge of the tank to provide support so I can cut the center brace

Any input?
