Not if we don't do the in-wall. I am thinking we will start with the 120 outside that room, and when we can afford it get the 240 for the tangs and turn that room into the fish room. That will give us time to finish the room and seal it properly if we want to go that route.

I thought there were some beautiful tanks without canopies in that Japanese reef tank thread that was up earlier today. Good luck!

Believe me I know how it is. Sometimes you have to change gears and do things differently until funds allow. I have slowly over the last 3 years built my tank to what it is and I'm still not done. After talking on here though my wife told me about a dream she had where I put a tank up (125 or so) as a divider and she is actually getting very serious about letting me do it. SHOCKED!!!
What ever you decided to do I know it will be cool!

G'day Ng,
Have you thought about those t5/Mh combo's. I know they can be a little expensive depending on the brand's, but you could get a good variety of light's. The advantage would be that you could hang them above the tank, and don't need a canopy, and the bulb combo's would be fun to work out
I saw one tank where the owner had some stainless steel tube rolled to form a bracket to suspend the lights. It's mounted to the stand, so it's structual, and it looks nice. It's on a different forum though
Ah decisions, decisions :lol: Good luck with it

FYI, when I was building my lighting setup there was a "used" Sunpod sitting in the dealers store on a shelf waiting for warranty parts to come in. In the mean time the tank owner was completely WITHOUT lighting.
I understand your thoughts on making it look nice, nothing beats the look of a combo light fixture, but if one part messes up and you need to return the hole setup for warranty work you would be IN THE DARK, er so to speak.
Sorry, had to say that.

Heya. Yea I saw some nice ones for like $1200 and it's just crazy for me to spend that right now when I'm trying to save a bit of cash. I really don't want anything but the phoenix bulbs I like that look.
Too many decisions lol. Thanks!

The first pic pretty much shows you what I mean about Japanese reef tanks. Very clean look.
