Lol,.. That would put your bulbs something like 6" off the water I think,.. you sure you want to go that low? Can you have the canopy built a little taller? IF your going with 2*250W XM10K's on electronic ballasts, and sticking them over a 75 6" off the water I'm betting you might run into some bleaching problems,.. especially when the tank is young and really clean.

Re: I'm joining the party!

How far can you put it into the red? -1,000,000,000,000,000?

If your going to do it, you may as well do it right

Re: I'm joining the party!

If it's 10" from the water to the top where you bolt it,.. I think the Spyder reflectors mounting brackets put the bulb about 4" lower.

Re: I'm joining the party!

LOL Yes Witfull has the power. You can give negative or positive karma, but I have only seen one person have negative unless witfull was playing. Other than the admins, we can only give so much in a day and yes the amount of karma you give or take depends on how much you have. I think I give 117pts now. It's a pretty cool feature that I have only seen here.
