Ah. I bet you can squeeze another canister under there, just need to break out the inner "tetris".

Spotlights are on a timer from around 2pm to 11pm. I use the LED strips when I need the extra lights or just checking on the fish in the morning. All lights out at 11pm or so.

Do you run all the lights during the day or just the spot lights? Then all the lights off at night?

Thanks Steve, unfortunately it was yet another one day hold. Gonna get it figured out somehow and get a female holding to term. This one is one of the more aggressive fish in the tank, fighting the two big males from time to time. I need to look into not feeding the fish for a few days after spawning, because I feel that this female swallowed at feeding time. I agree with you on the moonlight thing, bad idea.

Nice vid Sunny. Death can come in the darkness but my experiance is that it gets worse with moonlights tried overnight. Tried it and there was so much splashing the first night I couldn't sleep. Everything chasing everything else. Haven't tried it since, tho sometimes I run them when watching the big TV (cuts down on glare from the tank lights). Actually, I keep light pretty low in the tank most of the time when I'm not hanging out inside (not much this time of year). Just some little LED fixtures designed to light a lot smaller tank. Seems to keep the tank calmer. Good luck with the current hold.
