Can you turn the bulbs on and post them again... hard to see. Maybe some close-ups too.

here you go! sorry for the bad pics:) right now i am seeing what bulbs will work better,,,the 23w PAR bulb or the 43w spiral with metal reflector. after the test results i will make it a 4 lamp system with the bulbs i think grow the algae the best:)

Yes you really need multiple bulbs across that wide screen.

do you mean the spirals with the metal reflector behind it is fine? (some people call the PAR bulbs "reflectors")
