    No worries HL, you contribute a ton to this board, and that all that really matters. FWIW, I don't dole out karma usually, but you are so active here, I feel its my duty to thank you via karma points :) Keep it up, people like you are the ones that make this forum so enjoyable.

    By The Way. I turned it off when Matt first installed it as I didn't want to get angry when someone smighted me :)

    The bigger one is wider than your tank! The 4-65 watt hood will work great over a 55! Feel free to E-mail me if you want any specific questions answered!

    I'd go with 4x 96w of PC. If you can't find a hood with that in it, get a retro and a canopy for your tank. You'll be alot more pleased with what you can do with those, then the 4x 55w (which ws my lighting scheme for my 30g until I got my 175 DE MH, now its got 2x 55pc, 1x 175DE MH and 4x 13w PC).

    HL, liked your 2x 250 MH idea, get DE HQI with an electonic ballast, you'll thank me in the future ;) You'll spend more, but IMO it's definitly worth it.
