WOW!! Looks even better with the fixtures on it. Nice coverage of light from end to end too.

Both lights and light stand look awesome!

Any chance of a pic with the lights running lengthwise just to see the difference if there is any difference in coverage??

No, the bar holding the lights doesn't rotate, so can't turn, but that's a great suggestion. The light coverage on the sides of the tank isn't great, need to move the fixtures over about an inch or so on each end.

O ok no problem. It just looked in the pic to appear to be able to rotate. Just like Ecotech told me -3 fixtures really do look good on a 6ft tank!

That looks amazing. Exactly what I would like.

They look awesome!! The 4 on your tank will look wicked! Gregs stand is perfect, keeps it clean looking as I don't want a canopy. We set the lights on the default artificial for now. Was surprising how dirty the glass was once it was lit up, need a bigger mag float lol
