    MH question

    Originally posted by rbmount I run these on my 46 and my soft corals are doing great. They came from hellolights. Thats the one i'm considering since I can't seem to afford the MH right now. Is your 46G a bowfront like mine? If so, do you have a glass top on it and where did you get it?
