Built myself a dandy light

This is a shot of my 33G semicube (24"X18"X18"). The lighting I put together is a 24W disposable T5 fixture, and a 28W 460nm PC actinic. The tank is mainly zoanthids, so the lighting is adequate. I saved myself 123 watts from the 175W MH pendant. :biggrin: .

You have some very attractive zoos.

I just wish I could take pictures of the zoos under straight actinic. Then they really glow. I tried it, but have had no success. :sad:
