Picked up my new lights from the post office today. Set them up above the tank and wow what a difference from PC's(obviously). Heres a couple pics with the diff lights on the tank. Same camera setting for both. Its hard to get a good pic of the difference...

PC's (2 x 28w)

MH (1 x 175w with a 14k bulb)

I was thinking of using a 20k bulb and have it on the way, but the 14k is really blue also. Ill have to test them both out.

Have to build the canopy and equip with fans to keep the heat down now.

A little more progress today. Tank is almost cycled so I will be adding a CUC in the coming week or so. Well on with the pictures...

Got the canopy finished. Needs some filling, sanding and paint then its done.

Heres the 3 fans mounted in the back. 1 intake and 2 blowing out.

Heres the MH mounted in the hood. (hopefully heat wont be too bad.

Heres the tank shot with canopy and MH on. (Tank is a little low on water

. I need to add about 1 inch.)

Heres the fans and ac adapter. Im very happy with them as they are super quiet and cheap.
