    i'll say. they make your tank look so different, u can't believe it's your tank. I thought that it would be awsome before i got them but now that i hung them and there on, awsome it a totally different meaning.

    actually i only have 1 on so far. the other one i'm having problems with. The bulb broke and so i had to buy another one. I will get it fired up when it gets here on fri. I can't believe my tank with only one. i can't wait until i get both on. I'm gonna get some sps corals, some clams, some other inverts, and some fish. Not a lot of fish but maybe like a blue tang or some clowns.
