New lighting?

If it is the light I am thinking of the real problem with it is the light. It doesn't run standard DE halides or SE halides. It runs a weird base "halide" that no one makes bulbs for. You'd be severely limited in terms of bulb choices due to this.

 

The thing that worries me about that light is that with the bulb and reflector like that I would think there is very little spread. It would be more like a spot light.

 

there was a lfs in omaha that had that light on a display and i didnt think there was a whole lot of spread. it is a good looking fixture.

 

The Fish Shack in Manchester has this light on one of his tanks. The nice thing about it is the lights pivot so you have some room on what they point at also he sells aquaticlife products and can will get you lights cheaper then online. I bought a 12 bulb 72" t5 setup from him and he had the best price I could find on that setup.
