    2 more fans are going in the back behind the halides, mounting the ballasts behind the tank and Apex controller tomorrow. I broke my dang i-Tech cleaning it today so I need to get the bubble plate repaired tomorrow too before it can get hooked up. Simple fix, nothing a few dabs of super glue won't fix :) Sand and water tomorrow.

    Dang this has about been a project. Just got the electrical finished and sand added.

    I'm a 100% Phoenix 14k bulb convert at this point. South Pacific Sunlight bulbs have this butt ugly yellow color when compared to the Phoenix next to it.

    I can't wait to just sit back and enjoy the tank. This is so incredibly bright - I Have the 3 Halides fired up and my house is fully illuminated with no other source of light.
