    The middle light's not on cause I don't have any were to plug it in. LOL I have to buy another timer/outlet. I'm looking on ebay now. It does look extremely brighter!

    Keep an eye on the temp. With the fixture being that close to the tank & no air moving around the top of the water, she is going to heat up.

    I usually leave a little extra room at the top because right now I have to add the water there and mix it in buckets. I just do that so if the salinity rises after a water change I can add fresh water. Just a habit I guess. lol

    It does have fans, but I think I am going to be adding at least 2 more, seems to be a little warmer up there than I'd like. When I move I will be hanging this fixture from the ceiling. Hopefully will be moving in june, if everything works out right. 8)
