    185g New tank build question

    this is great and I appreciate everyones input. It seems as if it's a mix crowd. It seems as if I have somewhat of a hard decision to make. I mean I love the idea of the lightness of the Acrylic, but at the same time hate the fact that it scratches so easily. I like the idea of the new...

    great thanks everyone for the help. I will be going with 2 of the Lumen max 3reflectors. One last thing I just thought of now that I have to place VHO's into the canopy for supplemental light I need to have them flush with the MH correct? Also will i need a reflector for them as well?

    Quick Lighting Question

    Jezzeaepi, thank you as well for your help. I just thought if I had a 4 foot tank that I must at least get a close as possible if not right on the month close to the length of the tank for the lighting. I mean I'm sure you do but with the output that MH put out I was for sure or not.

    Quick Lighting Question

    thanks, so with the dimensions of the light fixture you do believe 2 of those would be adequate for my tank, meaning it would but enough light in the entire tank though its the total length of the fixtures would be 32"?

    Quietest

    thanks I'm having my tank drill with 2" intakes anyways so this will work perfect. Plus my return pump will be at least 1500 so I'll be in the ball park of what I'm wanting.

    Quietest

    Thanks to both of you for your help. I guess I best get ready for some noise just hope it's not too much. My other half will be real upset if the tank drowns out her tv or her conversations.... Well you know my answer to that one right......
