hehehe how convienant that you have THAT picture D! hehehehe
Mine's gonna be a mix of the 2 above, mine will be a cabinet(canopy) but i'm just gonna have the 8 t5's in mine, no MH's

Hey Capt'n, do you ever worry about the heat and getting the wood hot and starting a fire?
 
yea, i could see it if i were to go bigger, but for my 75 now, i think the t5's will be more than i need...

in order, left to right, can you tell me what you have in yours again?
the right 2 look like a 460 and a 420 but i'm not sure...
 
Mine is 4 160 watt VHO bulbs. The bulbs are URI bulbs with internal reflectors with a reflective dome over those to make sure I get all the stray lighting.
