    Long awaited, I now have the third Ballast 175W MH 10k. So I built a new hood to accomodate them also raised it up, before the bulbs were like three inches from the open water Yikes.. I have a puffer that likes to spit water. A few more items and it will be complete. Needs a fan and the third bulb mainly. Although the temp didn't change in my tank with the other canopy. My daughter helped alot on this project.

    Soon March tenth quarterly bonus. I have two already but ther are 7 months old.. and I think they were used when I bought the two from ebay. I plan on buying all three new bulbs. And changing one per week so that I don't fry the fish. Thanks for the Karma Matt
