Alrighty, well I found something interesting about the coralife fiture I was gonna buy... You have to use coralife bulbs! There is no UV glass on the fixture, only a partially covering splash guard. The coralife bubls are made of UV resistant glass, not the normal quartz (so not a true HQI bulb).

So now I'm looking at the Aqua Medic AB ocean light pendant. I can't decide wether going with the 250w over the 150w is worth the extra $20. Will this be too much for the 29? I need your help! Whichever one I get will be using an XDE 20,000k bulb.

BTW, I did the tank swap, and until I get the halides, I ghetto rigged an old JBJ 2x65w retro into a $5 pine DIY hood.
