In regards to your lights can you tell me if I am reading this right; you bought two of the sets pictured in the box, and each set is $119? Or did you just by one set, as pictured, and only used one light? Let me know an I can make a call on your lighting.
What made you think up these particular lights? The dolphins? I like your dog!

Sounds good. If you have a photo of your receipt for the lights, would you post it, or send me the link please for an online comparison.

Dude, that's sick. My own DIY skills include mixing saltwater and taking the green stick of epoxy and mixing it together with the purple stick of epoxy.
Well done! Very clever/thinking outside the box/etc/yadayadayada.

Quote:
scholar, I admire your innovation but have you looked into your idea? I have two concerns, heat and less obvious UV. Even with a fan you'll only remove the inductive heat, a fan will not remove the radiant heat which will likely cause big problems with such small volume. Not 100% sure but it's possible you may need a UV shield due to too much UV. It may also just be too intense, I've looked at those types of bulbs before they are brighter than halides and could blind your fish or damage coral. Also keep in mind HID stands for high intensity discharge and refers to halogens, metal halides, mercury vapor, high pressure sodium and so on.
