Tank 84 x 30w x 27

Yes a Solaris. If you look at the sand you can see one of my issues. Shading. A tank this wide either needs a second Solaris or some help somewhere. I may move it forward and add some HO T5s in the back or I was considering a 250 MH on a track. See...I sit around thinking about things like that all day and get nothing done....lol

By on a track do you mean a lightmover?

Could you not raise the light up just a bit to allow more spill?

I don't think there's anything wrong with a little shading. After all, there's shading in the ocean

Once the rock work is done correctly then I will play with the light a little more. I tried asking this question at the Solaris web site but they didnt respond. In reading a little from others and responses from Solaris they seem to think 2 lights are in order. But that was before the newest light came out. We shall see.

Yes michika I was/am considering a light mover. After the rock work is done, then I will see if I need to.

Apologies if I've asked you this before (I might have) - is that a doliatus rabbit or a virgatus? Got any closeup pictures?
