    I'm putting them into a hood that is closed on the back....but I'll add three fans....I'm thinking two on the back (close to the bottom of the hood) blowing in and one on the top pulling air out. Either that or three blowing in. The bulbs will be about 7-8" above the surface of the water...

    Still looking for some people within reasonable driving distance that want to split an invert/fish order from this site!

I'd love to get one in a month or so, but then I'd feel stupid if some died on me b/c of ammo, etc. What do you think?! I've never added more than one fish at a time, except for a couple damsels for...
