Yes it is a 10,000 K bulb and I decided to go with 2 x36 actinics and 1 x 36 7500 daylight.
This way I can put all three types of lighting on seperate timers.

I had a buddy do it for me. He does really good work as you can see.
Tuningvis:
Pretty sweet eh?

Yes all the lights will be on seperate timers so I can have the dawn to dusk effect. I haven't decided about corals yet, although I am getting a clam.

Do you have any pics of your tank and how are the lights working out for you? How about the mods.. ... any wiring problems and do they work on timers?? I love the works and would love to mod one like that. can you send me some more pics of the detailed insides and specs on what you ordered?
let me know if you can send me that info.

It would be easier to send you the progression pics via e-mail. If that is a problem let me know and I will see what I can do.
I have had this running for probably 2 months without any problems. A friend did the mods for me. Basically I have a 70W MH on a seperate ballast and timer. Two 36W PC on a seperate ballast and timer. And one 36W PC on a seperate ballast and timer. We added two 80mm fans to aide in cooling, also on a seperate circuit. The switches control the MH, fans and the ICA (intergrated chill assist) from nanocustoms. The reflector is cut of a sheet and custom fit.
