Michika's 28g long nano-esque tank!

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely make sure that the birdsnest is placed low as I want to see those lovely greens again.

I still haven't seen a full shot of everything! Why are you doing this to me

I wonder if you can drop the actinics down even with the bottom of the reflector. This should eliminate some of the shading.

Another idea that might work - install them at a 45 degree angle low on the sides of your hood instead of the top. Might be able to get some light to the middle. Would need to play around to figure out what angle gets light to the middle without excessive light bouncing off the water surface.

Well I want to put the luminarc on a slider system, and maybe I can put the actinic down at the edge and tilt them like you suggested. I wonder if my actinics will even reach the center of the tank.

That is awesome, and exactly what I was thinking. I'll have to make something to allow all the lighting to slide together on a slider. etc.

I'm doing 'cause I'm mean and like to tease you

The lights just came on so here you go. I'll take something nicer in the future after I'm done cleaning up the tank.

Nice! I'm glad it looks good. Now we just need to remove that growth from your camera lens... Oh wait that's a dog! Your dogs are such camera hogs

Yeah they are bad, Matia is the worse though.
