    I'm pretty sure that your tank is going to crash if you don't get that pendant fixture. In fact, you better tell your parents to rush it with the CC number.

    why would it crash? I just think it would be better since I have a deep tank and I could keep more corals and want some examples to show them it wouldnt look like crap. plus im the one who would be paying for it, I pretty much fund my own hobby

    Try googling it, I've seen pics of tanks with those hanging, it can look nice, but you need to do it correctly.
