    First I was using PC's with an led strip, then I upgraded to a dual T5HO fixture with 2 led strips. But my acros browned out pretty bad. Then I upgraded to what I have now, which is a AquaticLife 4 bulb T5HO with 2 led strips. The bulbs I am using are 2 Aquablue special, blue plus and purple plus with 2 blue LED strips. My Acros started getting their colors back only a couple days after the upgrade! It's only been about a week since having this fixture so far :)

    Wonderful growth! Keep an eye on your Hammer. It looks a tad faded. Mine did the same thing under the same fixture. Had her up to high ;) moved her down about 6" and the NEXT day she was bright green again. Keep up the good work. Your tank looks awesome!

    Yea, I noticed that it was faded or lightening in color! But it has been a little over a week now and it hasn't been getting any worse, so I think it should be fine. It's currenly at the bottom of the tank so can't lower it anymore. Lol
