That 70W metal halide is DIY from a Noma halogen fixture. It will do you well, I made one exactly the same.

Really? Seriously, I'll take a pic of my Noma DIY fixture, it looks exactly the same. Same clips to hold the glass on and everything.

I'll bet the wiring job looks a lot better than mine though

oops I cracked a tile while I was drilling for the door handles
Good thing I have a spare. I'm going to the coast this weekend so I will update everything when I get back. Mission acomplished tho 1 22g FW plumbed and ready for a new SW set up when I get permission. 1 33g cichlid tank. No reason why I can't spend money on my 180g this weekend

Welcome to the tiled stand club. We're a small club. I think it's just us lol. Any others?

Will you tile your door as well?
