Lighting System

Lighting is a key part to any aquarium. It is even more important in a reef environment.

The lighting for this system may be a bit underpowered at the moment. I have two 36" NO corallife 30W flouresents. They are held up with German endcaps. There is a parabolic polished aluminum reflector behind them. In the middle is a 25w moon light. It is dimmed and controlled by the solar 1000. Everything is grounded to the top which is made out of sheet metal.

In a short 2 hour period, you too can design and build your own custom hood.

Ballast and Controller

So I certainly didn't need anything so advanced for a small tank, but I got such a good deal, I couldn't pass it up.
