Tank Access From The Den

I decided to open up the tank from the Den.  It's difficult to perform tank maintenance, as well as aquascaping the view from the Den.  This should resolve these issues.




I cut out the gyprock, framed it with wood, and attached it using a hinge.



New Metal Halide Bulbs

I needed new Metal Halide bulbs and decided to change to the Reeflux 250w 20000K SE bulbs.  I've heard a lot of good things with this bulb.  Most 20000K bulbs are too "blue" and dark, however, this bulb looks closer to a 14000K bulb.  As well, it has more par than its 12000K counterpart.
