LOL... yer it's nice. Rewired it to run 2 bulbs per plug, so i can have them on separate timers, and got rid of the condensation screen as well. Makes a big difference! The corals are loving the new bulbs, I have 1 big mushie you can see in the pic that is at least 1" bigger than it has ever been before, and everything else just looks healthier!

Your corals certainly seem to be enjoying the new bulbs. I've always found D&D T5s seem to give off the most pleasing light. That's what I used when I had T5s on my old 4fter

Hi Chris. I have usually cut a fair sized piece as it goes smaller when cut, then trapped it between 2 pieces of rock and loosely put an elastic band around the rock to hold it in place. HTH. Eric
