Nice, very crisp. What did you use 50/50 or a 10K? PC or T5?

Thanks. I am using two 2x54w t5's (one per side). For bulbs each one has a 10,000 and an actinic bulb. It gives it more of a saltwater reef type effect but it really brings out the colors of the fish.

Yes I agree, I like the look you get with that combo. I've noticed in my experiance when I use actenic the algea grows faster so don't be surprized if you notice that starting to happen.

Even for cichlids, those are a seriously GREEDY bunch of fish !

Nice. It gives you a dark look in the front top, but the bottem is lit up very nicely.
