    well that would work for softies and if you just wanted maybe a couple sps you could pull it off if they were up close to the top of the tank.

    Gexx, forget the PCs they are not worth your time even looking at, waste of money and electricity, plus lamp replacement will be a pain in your a$$ and wallet!

    At least get a NEP, t5 unit
