Karlo when you can take a 4 gallon fish bowl and make it look like a mature larger reef, you know you've done a great job ! Well done!

Nice i like it. Very good idea on the mixing bowl. I think it would be really cool if you put a small clam in there

I take it you switched out the 500w ballast?
A little more detail on the light would be much appreciated.
karlo

The fixture that you get from HD the 500w does not come with a ballast it's straight current. You do not have to buy it if you can get a socket for a 70w or 150w bulb which might come out cheaper on ebay but with shipping and having to wait i'd rather just went and bought it for $15 and i was able to use some of the wiring, socket, reflector and UV glass.
Here is a thread to exactly what I did except I made my own pendant with the mixing bowl:
