I can get a brand new 2 bulb from my lfs for 83. So if the two bulb will do it then I'll just get then new one! I figured one 12k bulb and then a purple/blue bulb
How does that sound

Go with the 4 bulb, more light is better than too little light

That's what I thought! I will just raise it a little but instead of sitting right on top of tank.
Any specific color combinations that would work the best??

So I ordered my overflow box, and my mag 2 return pump yesterday!!
I'm ordering my skimmer next week. My order should be here Tuesday so I hope to start cycling on Wednesday morning. I have got almost all of stand painted. Only thing left is the plywood for front. Haven't gotten that yet! I have pics to post of everything. Just been slammed at work.

So I have the stand built and letting wood filler dry before I finish painting the front and sides. I am making the door big enough I can pull whole sump out for cleanings or whatever the issue may be. I promise to be posting pics tonight. Every second I have had lately I have been building the stand and painting before I put wood together.
