are the vho lights shinning in your face?

Looks great but would some kind of reflector in the front might help with the light shining in your eyes.

can we see some tank shots? Your tank has always been awesome.

Sean the tank has a front cover to match the stand, it blocks the light.


Domboski, how did you do it?

Jonathan, I had one 4' T-5 and one 4' Vho, but I wanted the entire length of the tank to get the actinic.
Plus the T-5 couldn't even come close in color and output dept.
