Thanks Brad. I have some spare 175's ballasts and a cheapy dual reflector I was thinking of using for that. I also have some N.I.B. ReefOptix reflectors I could use too, haven't quite decided if I'll use those instead or sell them. For the purpose of "temporary lighting" the cheapy DIY thing might be good enough..

Yeah I know. It's been bad. I used to travel a lot for work, then I had kids then I had other projects, then I got down on the hobby for a while and thought about selling everything, then I would save up for equipment purchases .... I have a long list of excuses ..

I wish I had thought to photograph what the furnace ducts looked like originally. THAT was a huge project to fix up in itself. A lot of the challenges that have slowed me down have had nothing to do with setting up a tank and but instead have to do with fixing up builder's blunders, or renovating a basement, or running plumbing .. and then fixing the plumbing because I didn't do it right ... stuff like that.
