Fishman9 The mh is about 12 inches off the water. I had it close but ran into some heat issues. Once I get my 10gal fuge set up with my overflow I'll probably lower it a little.
Wocka- looking good. I started out with 130watts of pc. You'll get there, my tank is just about a year old now. And many $'s later. For me it just took a while until I liked the rock work. I have the big gap in the center so the monti cap frag has room to grow. I plan on gettin a green with purple rim monti cap frag on the opposite side and higher so they'll kinda converge.
