    Thats awesome, where did you buy your bulbs from? All I am running is 2 175w MH's w/ 12k bulbs w/ a pendant 9in above each side of a 55. Theres no canopy so I could possibly lower them but still worry about heat. That is the only lighting I run over the tank and they run 10 hours a day. Is this sufficient?
