Won't all the water just spill out the right hand side with it placed like that?
 EDIT - I was starting to worry that no-one would get the joke.......

That looks sweet. I've got a bunch of smaller tanks with homemade canopies holding mini-compact fluorescent bulbs. They're easy to build. Post pics of your progress.

Which mini's are you getting? They've got 10W and 20W 50/50 screw-in bulbs, and they've got the 50/50 PC canopies. I've only used the screw-ins, and they work pretty good for soft corals.

they are the coralife minis they have one 9watt 10 000k bulb and one 9watt blue bulb. gold aquariums has a 10 gallon with just one and it grows soft corals so if i put two on top i should be able to grow some soft corals pretty good.
my stocking plans are GSP pulsing xenia i might try some frogspawn and a couple mushrooms

I'll bet that the Frogspawn does better than the GSP and the xenia. I couldn't keep either of the latter. The xenia died off (although it came from a tank with lower lighting) and the GSP didn't grow at all. I sold the GSP to someone with much stronger lighting and it grew like a weed. Then again, both these corals were some of my first, when I was using household spiral bulbs that weren't even the daylight type.
Mushrooms will do well.  Two 20W screw-in bulbs would be cheaper, would take up less room, and would give you more lighting. Here are some pictures of my canopy when I was using two types of bulbs (the 20W 50/50s and the household spirals):   I'm going to try four 27W Daylight spirals over my next tank (16 gallon display), which'll only have mushrooms, waving hand, and a head of Frogspawn. ________ IOLITE PORTABLE VAPORIZER Last edited by Flusher; 04-21-2011 at 03:03 PM.

the only thing with th 50/50 bulbs is they are $25 and only a 6500K rating where these are 10 000k, and im only getting 4 less watts. the xenia will be sitting almost at the top of the tank so it should be getting alot of light. i guess corals will be kinda a hit or miss, but i hope i can grow those three
