Pineapple said:Now that is lighting!It really is a matter of taste. To my eyes this will have plenty of blue. Do you have a good reef store around you? At times LFS will have different lighting on setups to make a sale.
LOL!! Ya, tell me about it......
Anyways a few, yes. Ill be checking them out next week!! By the way, the 14000K will give a blue tint, but will colours of corals still stand out?
Also, i plan on adding two of these icecap 120mm or 4 inch fans in my canopy.........

The two hilides will be placed about 8 inches from the water surface. Those fans are supposed to blow anywhere from 50-112 CFM which incrases or decreases dending on heat calculated by a probe that is provided. Do you guys think i will be able to maintain 78-82 degrees with two of those fans in the canopy?? (one blowing in, the other out)
It depends on what kind of canopy you have. I have 2x 250watt DE 10000k halides over my 65gallon tank. They are suspended from the celling, no canopy and my tank stays at 78degrees. If it were hotter outside it might get up there, so I can always put a fan on it. I would say 250watt's is a must if you want to keep any clams or sps, on the lower part of your tank, the 150's wont penetrate all the way down with the proper spectrum.
