Nice clam! Wow, 250W HQI for 10G! Amazing!!
You have full tank shot you wanna share? Any temperature issues? When I only had a 20G sump with 72G display, the temperature would jump 8F by the end of day! I had to add a 6" fan. The light fixture is suspended ~13" above the water.

Thanks ! 
Yes, 250W HQI on a 10G, i had it left over when i down graded from my 46G bow. Its an open top, hence its easier to deal with the heat. Although, i do have a 6" fan blowing over the top whenever the lights are on. The fixture is about 10-12" off the surface, and the tank evaporates about 1/2 to 3/4th gallon of water a day.
Here's a thread of mine with the complete tank pic.
