light ?

zeus_roush · 07-22-2008, 02:39 AM

i have an aqualight pro that is 4' long with 150 w bulbs, i was wondering if it would be possible to take one of the fixtures out and build it into a canopy for my ten gallon tank that iam currently using to hold my corals in. would the 150 w be okay on the ten gallon. i just really dont want to have to buy another fixture since this ten gallon tank is only temporary.

why dont you just use some PVC to make a hanging fixture for the aqualightpro and place the tank right under the 150 w's

i already have the suspension kit for the light but it would look really bad to have the 4' light hanging over the ten gallon tank. so i was thinking that maybe i could just remove one of the mh and mount it to something. I have a feeling its going to be atleast a year before i can set up my 75 again.

What are you going to keep in the 10? That is a pretty shallow tank so I would thing PCs would be enough for many things. T5s would be great and not that expensive.
