How many strips did you put?

 

[ireefny]

8 in total, one package comes with 4 strips, Im tempted to put a third but at $50 a pop, I will hold off.

The 4th picture looks really bright.

the only thing that changed was my camera setting, believe me, I have no other source of light when I was taking this pictures.

not to mention I have egg crates blocking alot of the light since I have several jumers in my tank at the moment.

The color I chose is similar to the new HID bulbs from cars.........HID from cars hmmmm

They are so dark your camera is slowing down the shutter speed to compensate for it, that is why you are seeing "shadows" of your fish in the pictures.

The $100 could have bought you a T-5 retro kit, much better lighting :tired:.

Bring your jumper over, you can take away the egg crate then :lol2:.

what T5 retro kit? I still have those reflectors I think 5' end the endcaps, just need right ballast for it.
