Ok, hang on a sec guys..

OMG! Flashback! And John Stamos on drums. :lol:

I received my replacement parts for my ATI fixture yesterday.. So seeing as I took today off work I was able to get them swapped in.

Tank is still lights out while I cure/cycle the tank but I flipped them on for literally 30 secs to snap a couple pics now that the fixture is hung back above the tank.

100% Both channels:

Stupid Question
 

...and I apologize if it was adressed earlier in the thread: is the rock protruding out of the water? If so, I am curious why?

Yup, it is.....and Why not? It's different, unique.. I actually wish it was a bit farther out to be honest. I might try and put some sort of long leaf plant life up there.

I love the rock work!

Thanks WarDog.
