Thats what I thought but just wanted to make sure. I want to do this one right from the start(not like my 75g that I had to buy virtually everything different from listening to not so knowledgeable people....Pet Supermarket and my LFS)

If the light will show to your guests...then a finished fixture is kinda nice.

Yeah, I was thinking of using a total of 4 - 250w MH with 8 x 65w PC actinics. Of course DIY. Instead of canopy or tank mount I am thinking of suspending them with some sort of manual hoist/chainfall to raise them for maintenance. Is that too much light, remember this tank that I am looking at is just over 30" tall
