    yeah i hope so! instead of buying the $75 megaflow kit, i made some myself, those pics will be up soon, and i bought 2 coralvue 250 watt ballasts pics of those should be up tommorrow or the next day :) also i plan on setting up one of the 55 gallon tanks i have to store water and some corals so that the switch will be a little better then it would be without!
