Wow very clean set up you should be able to grow anything with that light. Just curious as you went with 2 3 ft t5 fixtures?

I had a 4 bulb wavepoint fixture from my previous 30 gallon over it and it just wasn't cutting it, so I went to find an 8 bulb 3 foot tek light, I did actually find one but I got out bid on eBay, so I did the next best thing. My tank is only 3 feet long so that was my max on length and I wanted more then 6 bulbs cus im going to have this tank for a while and don't know what im going to get into so I want to make sure I have enough light to do everything.

Plus having control over 4 different sections means I can mess with bulb configurations and start up times as well as just having a few off for the softies
