Lights for a 37g reef

If you make it so your DIY canopy can be raised or lowered you could go with either light. If you can't I would go with the 175 Watt bulb.

Perfecto! Awsome... I could not ask any more than this... Man this is perfect. Thanks for letting me know Turbo!

And Jim, what you said makes sense. I was thinking the same thing. For now we will just have to wait for "Guinnie-Pig".... Um,, I mean Turbo to get his setup tested, to find out... LOL

Cool beans.. It is going to be a while for me. But I am enjoying the learning experiances which will help me be better prepared for when the time is rite. I am very anxious, and just getting more so.

Right now my water has a stable temperature of 77 degrees. and in the summer usually 78-79. Im calculating maybe a 1 degree or two diferent in my tank. But ima be giving it maybe 1' off the top of the tank. I dont think ima have a problem, lets see.

Hey Turbo, just wondering if you got your kit yet?

[turbo4603]

yup, i have had the MH kit siting in my room for about 5 months, but not gonna use it for my tank, i have decided to tear down my 40gal. tank and make it a mini predator tank with maybe a clown trigger and a eel, or a seagobling, im still working with the idea. The retrofit kit i have ima install it on a growing tank ima make with my brother. Ill show you all pix when i get them, but theres a lot of DIY and pics online on how people built their MH canopy.

Looking forward to the pics! Well thanks anyway Turbo. Have fun with that battle arena you have planned. haha j/k
