    Another pic. Switched out one of the lamps for a 6500K. I also traded a couple of rocks from the center for a couple from my tank at home. It's not as bright in person, I'm only running 80 watts of NO T12.

    Not sure what your looking for exactly but i have a sunpod w/ 2 150w 14000k MH on my 55 and it barely takes up half the top of the tank space if your still worried about size....that is without any actinics though. This is what it looks like:

    Coralline algae is spreading well. I first noticed it early last week, and have now sighted patches of the stuff on the front glass.

    Removed the 2 6500k bulbs, added 2 150W Ushio 10,000k DE. Please excuse the glare, perhaps one of these days I'll get a pic at night :D
