Are your German bulbs Ushio's?

Well those instructions state that a perpendicular install will allow 2 MHs to cover a 6' tank....That is why I was concerned I would be detracting from my tank.

But if I do it parallel then in time I can add a 3rd MH to the middle slot on my canopy. wOOt !

Just an update on my sump fan install. Good news, my temp hasn't gone above 80* since I installed the fan! Once again, I have less than a 1* fluctuation over a 24 hour period. My heater's even kicking on periodically to keep the water from cooling too much. I'm happy!

What kind of fan did ya install in your sump Cole ?

And is it pointing directly at the exposed water in your sump of is it just ventilating the sump area in general ?

Not sure what brand, it's the only (plug in) clip-on fan that my local Target had. I pointed the fan directly at the water. This is only a quick-fix until I get my second MH, then I'll install 4" fans in the canopy.

Before the fan I was topping off 1 gallon per day. Now it's 1.5 gallons per day.
