    For no reason what so ever, besides me being bored.  I acquired another lid for a 29 biocube and then stripped it and then I just went a little crazy.

    To me keeping more and diffrent corals is always a good resin for Light upgraid![​IMG] if you end up with a temp spike next summer just get a little fan from walmart that will blow down into the vent holes in the top of the tank when the light are on.
    Looks Good Glen

    I have two spare cpu fans from the old hood, that I might end up having to use to keep temp down, I didn't think about temp to much thanks for the heads up.

    Was going to order the lights today, but the only things our suppliers had were the 10 k and the actinic bulbs, I was hoping to have a nice purple as my second actinic and change up the color instead of simply doubling what I already have,  now to do more research and find a company that makes a different color bulb for  straight pin fixture.

    also you can get an like 1" adaptor to go from square pin to strate, or strate to square
    hope that helps Glen
