Yep. I think I may be able to get it to work. I'll need to find a cheap ballast though. I have a 24"ish bulb already .
No need to. It is overkill, no question. Hard to pass up a Hamilton halide when offered it as a trade, however. I've always wanted halide and heat...
My only hang up with the t-5 is that the halide covers the whole top of the canopy, front to back and side to side. I would need to mount it below...

I really like 72 gallon bowfront reef tanks. I think your back glass is fine. I think someone told me that most back glass isn't tempered except for...
Spotted him in the rocks this morning. Made it through the night. I think he's fine.
I've done it lol. I used the epoxy this time to hide the plugs. I didn't want to remove the coral from the plug and reglue it. Irritates them too...
