    75 hexagon lighting recommendation?

    not really a bad idea, i am curious how much heat they put out. my current lights put out enough already. i guess i will add the fan you mentioned, it can only help. thanks for the good advise.

    75 hexagon lighting recommendation?

    if i went with the 400, two questions, would it heat up too much? i have one fan in there already due to heat. also, if i go fish only, would 400 be overkill or be ok and just not be necessary? i dont mind spending the money to make it look quality! thanks, brian.

    live rock growth?

    can i hurt myself by going with more wattage, 2 175's as you mentioned before. they say 4 watts per gallong so i would be a little over, what do you think? thanks, brian.
