do i just make canopy and bolt that within it or do i need more? why is the 50w more expensive than the 70 w? shouldnt it be the other way around?
thanks

Yeah make sure you can buy an aquarium spectrum bulb for a 50watt halide... These 50watt ballasts might be the type designed for outdoor mercury vapor, and prolly won't have spectra suitible for marine aquaria.

so those kits are easy to install right? how far from the top of the tank should i put it to prevent the acrylic from warping or melting?
12" maybe
