Hello folks! I have been doing some serious thinking lately, and I want to make my new 5.5 a reef tank. The only thing is, lighting would be another 50 bux, but I found out how to make it even more. I have been talking to this one guy for a very long time, and he is gonna build me a hood. I am actually gonna put a 70 watt metal halide bulb over my minibow, how cool is that? The fixture comes with two blue leds, comp fans, all that. The only problem I think I am gonna have is bleaching maybe? I know the bulb is not really big but I dont want anything bad to happen. The lighting i have in the minibow now, fits perfectly in the 5.5 hood. I am really excited as I will now be able to get what I feel is the coolest thing ever, clams and SPS. Of course that will come with lots of time. At the moment I need to do lots of research on how I am gonna keep calcium levels up, and the other thing is I amm gonna need to get an autotop off since the tank will be open topped and I am gonna get some evaporation.
