How many MH/spider reflectors do you have on your 6' long tank?
Also do you use 175 or 250W?

Kip it looks nice! I just ordered an icecap 660 ballast for to supplement 2x175 watt metal halides and i plan on using 4x75 watt vho actinic for my 46g. bow. I know the vho's have a built in reflector so would I have to use another reflector behind them. The 175 watt metal halides have those u reflectors. Also do think my lighting would be good enough for most sps corals and clams. I am building the canopy this weekend and I already got the mh's and I should be getting the vho's this week to.
Thanks,
Rhett

Kip, what kind of MH's are those? Also are you using the 1000bulbs ballast with those? If not which one?
