Won't all the water just spill out the right hand side with it placed like that?




EDIT - I was starting to worry that no-one would get the joke.......

That looks sweet. I've got a bunch of smaller tanks with homemade canopies holding mini-compact fluorescent bulbs. They're easy to build. Post pics of your progress.

Which mini's are you getting? They've got 10W and 20W 50/50 screw-in bulbs, and they've got the 50/50 PC canopies. I've only used the screw-ins, and they work pretty good for soft corals.

they are the coralife minis they have one 9watt 10 000k bulb and one 9watt blue bulb. gold aquariums has a 10 gallon with just one and it grows soft corals so if i put two on top i should be able to grow some soft corals pretty good.
my stocking plans are
GSP
pulsing xenia
i might try some frogspawn
and a couple mushrooms
