    One thing is for sure, you only want one MH over this, or you are gonna boil the water. What type of corals do you have and have you looked at T5 fixtures?

    Re: 29 gallon tank light

    Charlie,

    he got a bad orbit unit, he is sending it back(ref. 29 gallon build in Reef forum) he's only got 30" so I suggested a diy with 24" T-5's staggered to cover the whole tank with a fan or two for cooling, would mean a canopy. Not sure if that'll work but I thought I would throw it out there.
    Tanks,
    Robert
