Looking for recommendations for a new light fixture
Hey Steve,
That's a cool setup you've got there. Where'd you get that spotlight
fixture?

I definitely won't be using expensive aquarium units myself in future.
I used an inexpensive industrial spot type halide fitting for the
little nano tank I set up last month, it's got a 150W 10K MH bulb
bought separately. It sits well clear of the water and is not likely
to corrode any time soon, I'd seen them used with success over dealers
tanks. There is a bubbler in there, yet the salt doesn't get near it,
even though it's an open setup. Excuse the temporary top up
arrangements etc on shelf above, about to sort out a decent auto topup
for it and tidy up.
