well my is better for an open tank rather than a closed tank. but i mean its what u want, enclosed or hang on. ive seen a guys tank that he has an L shaped arm that keeps his mh on, but it looks funny

the real heat concerns are during the summer months.
I don't use a chiller on my 150g and it uses 3 250 watt MH and 4 39watt H.O t5's
All i use is a fan and an aquacontroller and a little ac.

I want to keep everything, including clams and sps at the top... The tank is outside so i wont be able to get thhe exact dimensions until morning.

, but ya ditch the mh and go with the t-5s

I ended up getting the coralife fixture that has the arm...The bulb that it coems with it kinda white...If i bought one the the phoenix 14k's 150 w DE bulbs would i use it in this fixture?
