nice job on the tank.

What do you plan to keep in there?
How much farm and how much display is it really?

If your going MH 2 reflectors like this 22"x22" will help spread over that large tank.

4-8 T5 bulbs (retro) will be fine as well.

ha!, really I plan on it being all 100 prop tank. I hear of peiople using those reflectors alot now. That's not bad, I would need two of them and an appropriate ballast. I was though thinking a little more decorative looking... I would like something decorative or "finished" that serves the same purpose.

naaa.....in this situation, I don't want a hood. I'll be in and out of the prop tank too much and want easy access, thus the pendant type would be best.
