    Since my 24" light unit failed, I'm going LED. Im getting a full refund $70) and Im returning the 4 ati bulbs that I ordered this week for $100. That will pay for a toatronic which I can use on my 20 gallon and on my 55 gallon when I upgrade.

    I think I'll only need 1 because my rocks will be stacked in the middle. Im going tobuild an aluminium. mount for them, but how high should I put them?

    10 to 12 inches AWL? thats what i have my 2 AI SOLS at form my 40 gallon breeder. About 10" currently but its adjustable up and down.

    Try to see if there is anyway to make them adjustable if possible.

    Good Idea. I can easily make them adjustable.

    Yes, but they don't appear to be the dimmable ones.

    yeah, im not seeing the dimmable version. not really suprising considering everyone and their brother are buying these lights right now. they are probably just backed up.
