It is looking good. I would create a hanging light fixture about 7'6" out of sheet metal or light wood (1/4" ply and 1 X ? Stock). I would include 4 HM lamps spaced so that they were at 1, 2, 2, 1 foot intervals from the edge of the tank. I would also include at least eight 48"
VHO Actinic lights set in four groups of 2. I would set them two sets of each side of the HM offset enough to allow them to fit with the fixture. I suggest mounting the
ballasts on top of the fixture using 1X stock to create a visual barrier to hide them. I would also include several fans, at least one on each end and a couple set inside of the 1X stock. If you would like me to send you a set of plans just
PM me and I will try to get you a set of plans in a couple of days.
