I used the included mounting arm and screwed it to the canopy.

Did you mount yours or are they just placed on top of your lids?

[Austy16414]

I surely do, I'm looking into three of the 20W but I need to build a canopy first

I would also maybe go with a higher wattage if you want that good shimmering effect.

Thank ya Mr. Mike

Daylight will be a brighter light. That is what i use in my garage and kitchen lights.

[Austy16414]

Any suggestion on daylight versus warm white?

I bought the cheapest one and had to wire it myself. No great instructions so I googled the wiring.

Nice! Can you post a link for the lights?

Update. Changed out the sand from black to PFS. Bought two of the cheap 10w led flood lights on ebay. Here is a pic with just the leds. I still use the t12s also.

Dude that Goby is bad ask. I like the Altifrons too. Looks good. Makes me want to work on mine but I am waiting for a buddy to get me the glass to fix it.

Update - Pulled out all the DW. I was tired of the tannins changing the water color all the time. Also made some room in the tank by moving some of the smaller Texas cichlids over to my bros house. Then I took all the jade sleepers and the 3x Geo Altifrons and put them in the tank. I had 4 gobies and I picked up a HUGE one yesterday. 8-1/2" and probably as fat as a d-cell mag-lite.
Now there are 5x Texas, 3x Geos, 5x Jade Sleeper gobies, 1x Clown Loach, and a common pleco.
I feed them Krill, Blood worms, and Hikari Cichlid Gold / Excel.

I dont have the best camera, sorry.
