55g DT, 20g sump(half full), GAC reactor, yellow tang, clown, bicolor blenny, yellow watchman goby, royal gramma and one emerald crab. Mixed reef. I'll be feeding two cubes a day now with the scrubber.

Try to get the reflectors down and pointed at the middle of the screen.

I played with the fixtures a bit and came up with this.

The light is now pointing more towards the center of the screen. Thoughts?

They are too far. Rig up something so they can be right up against the screen.

I bought the reflector type that was only about half that for a confined build a while ago. The largest diameter is about 4"-5" or so.

On my way to work, I think I came up with a solution. If it doesn't work out, I'll have to get smaller reflectors. Thank you.

What do you think? Will this be okay or should I try smaller reflectors?

Smaller. Or get CFL floodlights.

I picked up a couple flood lights this morning. I'll post pics tomorrow, when they're set up.

Move the left one back 2", and aim the right one at the middle of the screen.

Thanks for the input, I was starting to think you were messing with me.

I'm starting to get some color on my screen after about three days.
