We received out new Nova Extreme Pro with 6 T-5's last night. After having (2) 15 watt 50/50's well the title says it all! To make things even funnier my wife had been sitting by the aquarium, and we were admiring how great the things looked. She got up and quite naturally I being the loving husband that I am quickly took here spot!! hehehe
Well when I sat down I noticed that there were only 2 lamps on and they were both blue???? So I told her, and after some investigation noticed that the other switch was off. Brother when I flipped that switch! All the fish went behind the rocks and when they came back out they were wearing shades! What a difference!
Some other info on our lighting that we did not know even after much reading is that the manufactured recommends that the tank top be sealed, not open top as our 55 is, also they do not recommend that these lights be placed inside a canopy.... Well that just won't do.....Got to have a canopy.. it will have to be open top and have vents in the sides, but a canopy is a must.
If anyone has experience in doing this I would appreciate some info as to how you did it.
