He's using a Lumenbright pendant...?

It's a Lumenbright reflector.......not a pendant. The pendants are finished and are black.

Oh, ok... I was trying to figure out what we were seeing differently. What's the difference? Pendants are more suitable for use outside of a canopy?

It looks like a vampire's reef tank with that statue next to it.

I love the setup. This will be a nice reef tank

Keep us update

Best Regards

I didn't mean any disrespect. I'm just joking around. I think the whole setup (statue and all) looks great; it just looks like it belongs to Dracula.

I have often been told that I am weird, or have weird taste.... It's never a bad thing to be unique.

Thanks! I was thinking about getting an mp40w but my wife is already getting mad at me for spending so much for a fish tank! heheh!

I would change it if I could. But unfortunately, the reflectors are the only ones available here from where Im from. So Im just making do with what is available to me here.

Thanks though for your suggestion! Was planning on painting it with high temp black paint. But haven't gotten around to it. But I like the way it looks now. Will see later on if I change my mind.

shandy_say · 10/04/2009, 06:49 PM

Hahah! No offense taken. Yep! Nothing wrong with being unique. I for one love things that are not common. For me it gives it more value.

Yep. Had tubular bars welded together to hold the lighting. Painted it with acrylic epoxy based paint to protect it from rust.

shandy_say · 10/04/2009, 08:03 PM
