    I would appreciate any opinions, ideas, comments, etc, to build my own lighting setup for my 110g reef aquarium. The tank is 60" long and 24"deep. For lights, I was thinking of using 2-250w MH (10k) and 2-110w VHO actinic bulbs (48"bulbs). Of course, 4 fans for cooling and hammertone reflector. For ballasts, I think I've heard enough praises here on electronic vs magnetic so I think perhaps the IceCap 660 for the VHOs and if anyone can recommend a good electronic ballast for the MH bulbs. The cabinetry, including the current stock canopy is oak so I would like to maintain the factory look if possible. Any help is appreciated!
