Re: talk about bright

We need pics for proof

I know when the power kicks on for my 10g tank (130w) it's pretty bright but I don't think that would compare in any way to what you have going on

We still need pics

Re: talk about bright

Yeah that's SWEET! Just keep an eye on HEAT! When I added my 130w PC to my 10g tank (13w per gallon) I noticed a heat build up. I raised it off the tank and problem went away!! Just keep that in mind buddy.
