I would be very interesting to know exactly what lighting you go with as I have a very similar tank to yours.(openings on top of my acrylic are almost identical) Are you going with electronic or magnetic ballasts? How far away from the tank do you plan to mount those MH's?

Josh I got to see some of the Reefflux 10K's in action last night. All I can say is wow. I will be switching from my 14K Giesemann's very soon.

I have two PFO 400w ballasts I'll be using. I'm going to use two lumenarc III mini's into the tank, and hopefully it won't be terribly detrimental having the fixture overhang 2" on either side.

I plan on using ReefFlux, but I may stick with good 'ol XM for now, since I have the bulbs..

Josh, I am within a month of changing out all my 20K lites for the Reefflux 10k bulbs, I can't wait. I cannot believe what these bulbs do for the blue corals in my tank.
