OK I'll try it at 16". I can always lower it more later if the corals need it.

The new light looks great. I know you'll be more than impressed with the light output from that Sfiligoi, plus the fixture itself is pretty easy on the eyes

Thanks guys. I think what I like most about this fixture is how quiet it is. Absolutely silent.

Looks great Lance. Putting a canopy on that would be like never driving a Ferrari!

That light is awesome. Now you have an excuse to wear your sunglasses at night.

I never thought I'd see this day: I have become bored with two reef tanks! Time for a drastic change I think.

Ever since my bout with the "big C" and my being laid up, the 90g really suffered and I lost most of the SPS. Now that I'm healthy again, I've got the tank back on track but I seem to lack the interest to stock up the SPS again. I find I'm enjoying the 225g with it's big fish and big LPS. So, I think I need a change with this tank. Keep the 225g as is and do something else with the 90.

Any suggestions?

I've even contemplated converting it to freshwater and going with discus or SA or CA cichlids. Holy Crap! I can't believe I just said that.

Wth Lance, first Marie now you! Next thing you know I'll be filling the 750 with goldfish! Must be something in the water around here.
