If so, I would have to modify or remove part of the reflector because it's made to where it takes up the rest of the space after the two sets of bulbs already in this hood. Maybe I am just over looking it. I'll look more into it and see what I can come up with. Your CUBE looks amazing!!

There was more heat and I did remove it. Even without it there is a heat issue. Cutting the reflector open and exposing the fans helped keep the heat in check. I decided aginst the extra bulb since I am only keeping zoos in there for now and they don't really need it.
I guess I really prefer MH and am thinking seriously of doing the DIY 70wt with the Regent halogen housing and removing the hood. I will keep it on hand, but once you have used MH 14k it is hard to use anything else.
But yea, after an all day burn time with the 3rd bulb the tank was getting near 83F. I removed the access lid in the hood, this also helped the heat issue.
It was a BD present, but I think I would have rather gone with a different system if I had my pick. Typical American gift reciever! One of the fans started making a racket and the connector for the moonlights seems to have a short so I had to call Oceanic today and they are sending a new fan, but to get the moonlights fixed they said I had to send the entire system back. The guy at customer service was kind of a s**t head. Talked to me like I was an idiot and didn't know what I was doing. Don't think I will mess with Oceanic equipment anymore. Typical American gift reciever!
