My New Giesemann Nova II 250 HQI.
Got it all hooked up tonight. It looks pretty ghetto, but this is temporary. My new tank will be up by the end of summer and we will be using the metal rod method. This is the same PVC fixture I was using before, we used the hanging wire instead this time. So far so good... only complaint is a slight buzz in the pendant. I don't think it should be making that noise as it was very quiet at the previous owners house. Anywhoo.. no FTS yet because all the corals and fish are sleeping and what not... but here's the general idea for now. More pics in the morning

Probably to late now, But if you have to take it down for any reason.
Krylon fusion spray paint will paint over that PVC no problem. Having it all black would look less "ghetto"

Ok snapped just a couple.. didn't take any fancy shots, just to get the idea . I'll take some time and get some good pictures tomorrow.
Heres a pic with the Aqualight before the switch (20k)  And here's with the 250w HQI: (don't know how noticable it is cuz my camera sucks .. )

 My clam is really enjoying the new lighting  And my favourite Acro.. hoping this guy will start to grow a bit faster under the more intense lighting.  Ok so , so far.. this is awesome. My tank temp is at 84 with 250w HQI. Before with the Aqualight (150w HQI) I was at 86+ (off the scale, so probably higher) So I am really happy so far. Also, the open top look is my favourite, I can work in the tank no problems now... best upgrade yet Can't wait to get rid of the PVC fixture though.. such an eye sore. Well, that's all.. more pics later on , enjoy.Scott
