    I think we'll be okay with our lights since it won't be so close and if anything we can adjust the height. As for the lfs, let's just say they aren't that exotic. Long story short with them, they sold us a fluval that wasn't the right size for our tank and told us that we would be fine. After a few tank crashes and my buddy realizing that it probably was because of the fluval, we built a sump and the tank has not crashed since. If we would have got the right info from the beginning, we would have saved a ton of money from lost live stock and still had some amazing fish. The bright side is after all that we decided to do coral and we love having coral in our tank.

    Yeah that place is sad with their saltwater section. Matt the one helping you out?

    Well I hope the lights work out for you! Give us some pics once the tank works out!

    Tell Gina not to look in to the light without protection. Seriously.

    I bet you cant wait to use it. You probably secretly want to mount it on the 46. Dontcha...
