Go with www.prairiereefsupplies.ca talk to Quinn he has HQI bulbs pretty cheap that he can get in. PM me i will give you his number and email addy ok .

As for the sump you will love it being on the other side too. Now you can run a refugium thur the wall that is dropping into the tank instead of the return going to the sump.

2 weeks get your dad going on filling it up come on man. Don't make me come over there after my surgery to get you and your dad going on this,....

Here's my photoperiod:

Actinics & Actinic White : 8:30AM - 7:30PM
HQI - 11:30AM - 4PM

You'll be surprised, but you really don't need your halides on for super long photoperiods.

I remember reading a thread on RC a while back about people who ran actinics for the majority of the day and saw no difference in growth patterns or colors, so I decided to try this myself. In my experience, there IS no real noticable difference so I left it like that. Save on heat, power and extends the bulb life a little bit.
