No I don't plan to extend the eggcrate, I need to put a divider between the rock rubble and the frag rack, so the chaeto can grow on that side.
The light I am using is the one I won at the raffle in Palm Beach, it is a MH 150w HQI DE, it is powered by a Sunlight Supply blue wave HQI ballast and the reflector is the Lumenmax. I have a hamilton 14 k that gives out a crisp blueish tint light. I really light the color of this light, Will see if the corals like it too!
