Doug,
Your tank gets better every time I see it. The T5's are certainly doing a good job of keeping things thriving.

By the way, do you have any heating issues with the new lights?

Thanks guys. I agree the shots Josh took are great. They have much better depth than I can ever take with my crappy point and shoot. I can dunk my camera in the tank though

I have seen about a two degree difference in temperature. Which is good... I guess. Anytime you can increase wattage and decrease temp, cant be bad right? Much better over all coverage with the T5s for sure. The metal halides do tend to leave shaded areas. But no more shimmer

I did something today that I have been telling people I wouldnt do. Will tell you all bout it when I can post pics.
