    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.

    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?
