Sorry this is off topic,

But i just want to point out how fortunate we are to have a LFS/Shawn willing to come on this site, Voice his opinion and help OUR members out.
 
We all have our own opinions and while I personally might not agree with a bit of advice from any one I don't think it is necessary to attack them or a store.
 
Remember there is no absolute wrong or right in this hobby. Just tons of different ways to do itWink

So Ksmart is it a 40 breeder or a tank with a center brace?

Good call Shawn, I realize that a lot of the times people don't have the whole story and then their advice becomes bad advice. I just haven't ever seen a 40 gallon aquarium except for the 40 breeder which is why I kinda assumed although I should have double checked.

Ryan,  it would probably not be wise to attach my store name to another post made by someone else.  Bluespot is entitled to their opinion(s) just like you.  All I know the post is not related to my store... 
     Back to the topic- What may seem like common sense to you may not be to others.  I've unfortunately seen this mistake having been  made many times over the years.  Some people will take advice very literally  "run the 175 right in the middle"  is not the best thing to say without knowing everything applicable.  You need to be carefull and paint the full picture.   
     I don't single you out Ryan,  you just seem to comment on nearly all of them. Wink
     When I see things being said that could be possibly detrimental to someones success, I feel inclined to advise.  I dont feel you were giving bad advise,  just not thinking it through.

Chad,

From what I know, bluespot works at Aquatica and is not very fond of me. Just like Shawn. So I was not surprised that they singled me out and told ksmart to get other opinions other than Ryan's (me).

I don't know how many opinions you can really give. They wanted to know if they needed one or two MH. I said one because I assume it is a 40 gallon breeder with no center brace. I also assume that ksmart would have realized that one MH would not work if there was a center brace blocking light. Just common sense to me.

Shawn, he was making a referance about another member posting about "someone from aquatica"

I agree that I wouldn't use one right about a center brace, I was thinking a 40 breeder with no center brace.

ksmart-
 
     Be very carefull about putting you halide in the middle,  make sure your aquarium does not have a brace in the middle.  If your brand does, it will cast a shadow and U.V. wiill cause it to eventually fatigue and break.  Causing it to possibly fail.
    
     You can however have a very beautifull, and succesfull Aquarium with only a 175 W bulb
