Hi everyone. Just bought a new 55 gallon tank that came with hood,and strip light. I currently have a 30 gallon salt tank with live rock . Am setting up the 55 at my new apt so when i move can just transfer. I have one prob.. lighting.. iI was wondering id anyone knew of a resonably priced way i could set the lighting up as have 2 magtinic, 2 trichromatics and a 20,000 k with the use of a huge wooden canop.. .. aslo the prob i have ran into would be that i want to be able to control the magtinics separately from the trichromatics and 20,000 k bulbs, and of course me being able to still open the top to feed any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanx
Drew

one of the clone ballasts for VHO will drive 4x110 watt tubes, but you can't get seperate start times without seperate ballasts. Check Premium Aquatics in the sponsor list and price VHO.
You could fashion something to hold the tubes up over the tank if you use URI tubes with the builtin reflectors
