Received my new lights today

I think I need to lower my mushrooms. I added a cleaner shrimp today and I will hopefully be adding two clowns soon.

 

Oh man, that sounds like heartbreak.

 

Thank you, thank you. Need to figure out a good combo now.

 

Better than Christmas morning.

 

try posting in the t5 Q&A thread or PM John (2in10) I'm sure you'll get some help

 

We've discussed lighting options in other threads. I just need to decide what combination would provide great PAR, but also not look too blue to my eye.

 

I had that same light fixture for a few months then decided to upgrade to a nicer Aquaticlife 4-lamps T5 fixture. Your light fixture gave out a lot of heat and I also noticed my tank the temperature went up by 3 - 4 degrees when it full on. It got really hot with 4 lamps on during the summer time.

 

I keep my fan running all day in a house that is 72 degrees. It typically shifts from 75-79 from day to night. My heater is maxed out too.

 

That should help to lower the temp in your tank when all lamps are firing up. Nice tank

 

Thanks. I can't wait for things to start growing.
