I am going to order my new lights tomorrow and I am nervous. I have tried to research everything the best as possible but I need a little shove one way or the other. I am resetting up a 90 gallon rr that has been down about 7 mos. since I had to move to a new house.

I had about 400w of pc lighting before and was happy I guess with my leathers etc., but I know that I am going to want more light specific things this time around.

Alot of people keep talking about the hamilton fixture with the 175 or 250mh plus the 96 actinics? I have tried to find their site but keep getting redirected. Anyone have this hood system? and where did you get it?

Would I be making a mistake by getting th 175 instead of the 250?

Does it just sit on the tank edges and can it be covered by my canopy? Or does it have to be hung? Maybe even if you have a mh hood that is not the hamilton one I am referring to it would help to hear from you.

Sorry for so many questions, but "D" day is around the corner and I want to make it right!
