oh ya going bare bottom for the tank to much flow for sand

With the powerheads you said you wanted you won't have an issue with flow in your stank or stirring up sand

as for lighting, consider a new wave like the ones set up at RC. they are $220ish brand new and with 8 bulbs you can have alot of fun. way better than the hagons

sounds like you have a neat little project going

lol those are the power heads i have running at the moment, and it produces quite a bit of flow which i love (less scrubbing of algea lol) and ya i'll probably upgrade the lights soon.

oh ya and the appearance of the lights has to be nice since it will be showing on top of my tank

How much are you willing to spend? i just reccomended the new wave since its a 8 bulb for under $300. besides that your looking at ATI fixtures which will be $400-600

i guess that would be the best bang for the buck on a 8 bulb but the cost is around 300 for the light fixture plus another 200 in bulbs so thats 5 bills for the lights, kinda expensive in my books, but kevin also showed me a odyssea 250 watt metal halide with 2 pc lights for 300 and it comes with bulbs what do you guys think of that?
