Lighting/Hood recommendation in solarium
My new tanks measurments will be 84x42x26. It will be free standing in the center of a solarium and visable from all sides. I would like a lighting system that will hang from above that can be raised or lowered as needed. I would also like it to be some kind of combination of halide and florescent. Any recommendations or ideas? I really need something I can raise and lower easily, and has a clean look.

if is in a solarium it will get plenty of natural lighting, so i don't think that you need anything stronger than 175 watt halides.

That would be true if I lived in Arizona and the sun shined every day. In December it gets pretty gloomy here in Massachussetts. I am not so much concerned with what type of bulb or wattage as I am with the configuration of the setup.

reefkeeper2 I have a custom light rack that raises and lowers by a toggle switch with the bottoms and tops controlled by a limit switch. I'll send a picture. This design was copied and used in a local restuarant. At the restuarant they placed a wooden hood around the rack looks great.
