    Not yet that is on the back burner for now my motorcycle and motor swap for my subie has taken the front seat. Ill readdress the 300gal during the winter :) in that thread i was looking at LED the only issue i see with them is i would have spent double the money up front and thats no fun.

    How is the sound on your light any humming or anything like that?

    Oh yea, do you happen to have a chiller on your 75? The halides will boil your tank if you dont.
