Zer0 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Yeap. Make sure you give it a few coats of the high heat spray paint though. One or two coats and that stuff will scratch right off, I've found out the hard way. I actually like the way the fixtures look. Low profile. About the spray paint, make sure you get the can with the picture of the grill on it. Link to comment
Kazooie Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Ok, cool! Any parts I should cover up? Other than the glass of course. Link to comment
Zer0 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Well, on the fixture they made little fish icons, and i'm not really sure whether they were made by holes, or if they are just etchings. you'll have to see for yourself as I can't remember. If so, then you'll have to cover the holes up from the inside, and by that point, you'll just want to take the fixture apart and remove the reflector and the UV shield and just spray paint the #### out of the aluminum housing without a care in the world.

Kazooie Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Ok, sounds kind of simple to do. The hard part is convincing my dad, as he thinks mh's will burn the house down. Also, 70w or 150w? I want to keep sps, zoas, and a clam or two. Link to comment
Squared Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Why would you start another reef when you already have your 125? Link to comment

I want to keep sps, zoas, and a clam or two. lol. It shouldn't be too hard. The pendant is just held together by a couple screws. Nothing intricate at all really. Well I wish you luck on the convincing part. Well, You might be able to get away with the 70w, and keep SPS near the top, but there aren't too many nice bulbs out there for the 70w DE halides. If you went with the 150w, you would be able to keep anything, and there are lots of great bulbs out there like the Phoenix 14k. J-Ranko keeps a single 150w and his tank looks badass. SPS and all.

Kazooie Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Why would you start another reef when you already have your 125? Because that tank is mostly softies and for big fish. And I want a tank in my room. Ok, so will be easy then. 150w it is then, as I don't want limitations because of light on this tank. Link to comment
Squared Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 don't you think 70w is enough? don't forget a good bulb will cost you like $80. Link to comment
