Want to say hi to everyone in this site!
Im new to this hobby. Im a war veteran,just came home from deployment not too long ago and this new hobby is my therapy.
Just bought my all glass tank 150 G with stand and canopy,55 G sump,quiet one 4000 return pump and just yesterday a coralife elite lighting system with 250Wx3MH and 96X2 Actinics from DrFoster and Smith webstore.
Anyway my immediate problem as of the moment is how to fit my coralife lighting system to my canopy?
If I force it inside the canopy, the glass undersurface of the light housing will be 3.5 to 4.5 inches from the surface of the water and also the inlet and outlet fans on the side of the housing will only have 0.5 inch clearance on the side of the wood canopy.
My question is, if i do decide to squeeze this aqualight elite to my canopy with these clearances, will it significantly cause problems in the long haul?
Does anyone have an experience on this problem? I badly need an advice from the gurus on this site, please help.
