I did think about trying to add a fixture to this, but even this is a bit difficult as it has to be a certain width, and everything i am finding is either 4 or 5 inchs to wide.

and i think if i add a center brace it will take away from the open top look. the reason for the center brace would be so i can add 2, 3ft t5 fixtures/
Hey John,

Have you considered a 60 inch T5, you'll just lose 6 inches per side, you can keep lower light SPS on the ends of you tank?

Your Stylo's and Poccis's are looking great, I'll have to keep an eye out for some of those pink one's.

hey Stacey, i did think on getting one of those fixtures, but its the hanging factor of the light, i cant hang and its too much trobule to go out and try to rig it up with what i have right now.

i do know that when i have a new system, it will be one of these fixtures.

the pink, i really like it. the polyps have stayed pink thus far.

for those following my blub selection, i have played around with the d&d actinc plus, the colors really poped in the tank, very nice blub, as well, i tried a the d&d pure actinic, these blubs were insane, the colors of the corals were unreal. they didnt even look like my tank.

i am waiting for the new "super blue" from KZ, they should be in town come some time january. so i will be switching over. i am waiting to hear back from Thomas and Regina of KZ, to see what the ratio of blubs is to, new gens, fiji;s and coral light is.

Hi John,

You're correct about the PM, one drawback is the hanging, plus they are heavy so one needs something very sturdy.

Do you have a link for the KZ Super Blue? I hope they send over some 80W, as there is very little selection available and no suppliers here in Canada for 80W, I have to get my bulbs shipped from reefgeek in CA

Now a FTS with those new tubes...
