New Lights!!!

All I can say is, "It has been a great week!"
Re-did (Southern Girl here) the lighting in my canopy on Thursday. Changed out one of my ballast and added another 80 watt T5. Instead of having the lights centered in my canopy leaving darker areas on both ends of my tank, I took out all the lights and staggered them from side to side in my canopy. Now I have full light coverage throughout my tank. SWEET!!! Now for the really cool part....... Last minute brain fart yesterday, I decided to install some of the LED moon lights in my canopy. Between trying to catch the coral eating tang this afternoon,,,, I did manage to get them installed .... And the verdict is,,,,,,,,,,, after coming home from dinner out with my son and neighbors to a dark house with the moon lights glowing in my tank,,,,,,,,, AWESOME!!!!!!
Gerwin,,,,, why the heck have you not insisted I do this before?????
TOTALLY LOVE IT!!!!!
Definitely recommend!!!!!
Oh,,, and did I say,, in my very worst southern drawl singing voice, "they are AWESOME!!!!" :D
