They have a mix of 70/40. Right now they're in my canopy, so no choice on height. I'm working on that. The disco doesn't really get me anymore, I've gotten mostly used to it. But I do plan to try different heights, but have wife imposed restrictions on how that can be done

Oh, you got the ones with the 40s in them. That's even worse!

Bah, it's not the wife's tank...
