I'm gonna throw up some pics of my progress soon. I've got (3)40g in various stages, (2)5s, (2)10s, and a 20g mostly setup. I just have to laugh about my latest find. I got a crazy deal on an aquarium light partially because there aren't many practical situations for it. I knew it was a lot of light and I was not joking when I said it could light half my aquarium room to the person who asked if it would work on a rather small tank. To see my husband struggling with a only 4' long but widest light I've ever seen I haven't stopped laughing. It's got t5s, halides, and led with digital control for 24hr lighting. I will stop laughing when I plug the thing in and it blows every circuit breaker on my 1800s house. :lol: <br /><br /> __________ Thu Jun 30, 2016 9:27 pm __________ <br /><br /> oopsy... I was unplugging things that might take a lot of power and missed the space heater. While trying to figure out the display I must have hit the turn on metal halides and sent 300w into my best surge protector on the outlet with the heater. There's a reason I used my best surge protector and only the 10g light sharing that one blew up. I unplugged the space heater. I'm still having trouble seeing the display though so I have to figure it out tomorrow.
The tank on the left is as long as the light, the tank on the right is as wide as the light and they both hold the same gallons. So it's around 48x18" of concentrated light sources.
