wav3form - I whole heartedly agree, there can never be too much light
Henry22 - Thanks for your suggestions but believe me, there are no dead spots in my tank. There's 700 gph pushin' through that tank and I'm very happy with the random currents that have been produced as a result of so much current. However, I have given up on a way to keep the sand in the corner's because there's just too much current in those areas.
mr pink floyd - Thankyou, and yes, your eyes do not decieve you. That is styrofoam holding up the light. I realise that is possibly the most ghetto thing to do, but i can't suspend the light from the ceiling because i live in an apartment and my ceiling is concrete, and therefore, incapable of being drilled into. I'm working on building a stand that comes up from behind the tank and arches over to suspend the light. I can't enclose it in a hood for heat issues but if anyone has any other suggestions I'ld love to hear them.
