    couldn't agree with you more. this is all too often overlooked by aquarists, and all too often very appreciated by the fish.

    Agreed, plus, it also keeps all the return lines in the shadows as well

    Thanks Victor. I looked into those as well, but this was by far easier to do than what the GU10 LEDs would have been to work on. Given that his only took less than a week from ordering to this, I'm glad I went this route.

    That was the idea. I wasn't expecting anything more than was achieved.
