    The light was inherited from someone else couldn't figure out the brand, its just two 30" T5 bulbs with the blue one shut of while I took the pictures.

    I'm thinking about using my tax rebate money to replace them with LED lighting. I've been lurking a lot on the forums and doing research. Something tells me an over flow into a turf scrubber and a fuge might be a better investment at the moment.

    PS Yeah it's a super skimmer 65... it took quite a bit to be broken in, but after that I have to say its a pretty good bang for its buck

    yeah i had two i hated them but they are pretty much universily accepted as great, with mods lol. I traded one to craft kid and the other is going in my buddies sump. I ran two for 3 years though between my 46 and 55. I was going to use one in my 55gal sump but it turns out there is no room :/
