Optimal Orientation of MH Bulbs?

Haha, yeah man, A|W is awesome. But it's so true that it's hard to find a job in the field these days. In our class, one of my buddies Finally got a job at EA -- 3yrs after the course. He knew someone there, who got him interview after interview, and gave him tips and stuff. So he eventually made it in. Another friend is doing top secret models for a local company which is contracted by the US Army. So that's TRES COOL. I personally just do some freelance work for my other buddy's software company on the side. Speaking of Pixar, I couldnt believe the Toy Story 10yr anniversary DVD set came out last year :S I still love "Geri's Game" the best!

I was watching Cars on the weekend and in the opening there was "Pixar - Celebrating 20 Years" and suddenly I realized-- Oh my God-- I'm old.

The problem with Pixar is that they make all other animation films look .. well .. bad. They are awesome. And Alias makes awesome tools. There was a time I would have gone to work for them .... oh well, water under the bridge now!!

Yeah good point, I'm just over thinking it. I'm sure it's negligible. The other issue would be the extra routing of the wiring... Guess I'll have to find some clips.

This will be my weekend project!

Anyhow, as far as less light making it to the front of the tank, I didn't really notice that myself. Mostly the shadow that's cast by the socket goes out horizontally anyhow, so no concerns about a dark spot in the tank or anything like that. Also you usually don't have anything right up to the front glass anyhow since that's your viewing pane, so I don't think it's a huge concern. Maybe try it both ways and see if you notice a difference but my guess is that you wouldn't really notice.
