Trod, just had a thought - couldn't Mr Trod and Mr Seffie make you a new hood including lighting for your tank? I'm thinking along the lines of using your 2 x T 8 unit and then a T5 unit built into a new hood

Seffie x aka Big Sis aka Marine Mummy

if it was me, i'd looking at getting a couple of pendants to hang over the tank. If you were going to make a new hood it wopuld involve making a curved front for it
you could always make a couple of legs that would sit at either end then have a couple of rails that go along the length and hang the pendants from that.

 

[Trod]

Yes Rob, I think you are on the right lines, It would just be to difficult to make a hood to fit
I'm going to stick with new Marine white T8's for now then in 6 months or so, have another think

Cough Cough, deep sigh, blame seffie
As you know Seffie and I went on one of our shopping trips today, We've had a really good day, and managed to get to Living Reef Aquatics, STM, Heaver Tropics and Aylesford Aquatics, They were all good shops in their own way, but seffie and I have come to the conclusion that we are just not willing to pay shop prices for corals, they are just asking stupid prices so seffie came home with some strawberries, meringues and some beetroot, to get to Aylesford aquatics you have to walk through a farm shop, which is terrific and I would highly recommend it, we actually spent more money in there then the fish shop!!!!!!!!!!! We had a nice lamb roast in a pub, broccoli was a tad hot though, and seffie managed to spit it out quite politely
I managed to get my lights from STM, which, once we got home seffie and I eventually got onto the tank, after the obligatory hour of swearing, we got them working
Now I also bought a fish, I saw it and bang, seffie had to shake me, cos at one point I stopped breathing, I couldn't believe my eyes, there it was, staring at me, about 2" long such a tiny baby, I tried to walk away but if I had Seffie said I would regret it and she convinced me to buy it, I did check the SG of the tanks, 1.023 fine no problem there, so I purchased my baby from Heaver Tropics.

Meet Trevor (don't ask!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

OMG I just hope he survives

Trod, I am so glad you changed your mind

He looks stunning, am I right that its antennata??

Very very nice, and I wish you all the luck in the world with him.
