Mine is part of my refugium/sump. I run a 150 watt Phoenix HQI in a pendant. Flow is increased with a Vortech MP10.

Scott, very nice use of the extrs space , in your sump . What all do you have growing under your frag rack ?

Thanks. There is a spare neon green candycane colony under the center rack and some xenia and a ponape birdsnest and various pieces of monti cap under the magnetic rack in front. The center rack and side rack were made of scrap acrylic I purchased at the local glass shop. I drilled the holes with a spade shaped ceramic/glass bit (a regular spiral drill bit will crack the acrylic), dremeled the ends for flow and bent it by heating it lightly with a torch. The side rack snaps in place over the frame of the sump.

I will be using the Phoenix bulbs as well , the SE 175 watt 14000K bulbs .

Thanks guys. I am running a 400W Radium on a Sunlight Supply Blue Wave 7 ballast (it is an HQI).

How is everyone that don't have their frag tank under their DT suspending their lighting (connected to the ceiling or some other "make-shift" set up)?

I'm in the process of setting up a frag tank and don't want to drill into the ceiling (since we are renting).

Many people are now using galv. conduit aka emt bent at a 90 at the end then the light is suspended from the tubing. It's cheap and easy. Look in the diy forum for plans.
