Thank you for the response. I have about 3 times the rock outside the tank currently. I am cleaning and drying it out from a bubble algae problem. Once the tank is stable again I will add the other rocks back in.

Here are where the power heads currently are.

3 Years later and 1 fixture is still going strong!! I have updated the second fixture after failure and it has worked well for the last year.

I will try this!! Thank you!

I have 3 Hydor Koralia's. 2x1400 1x1050 The tank is right around 2 years old. I removed EVERYTHING for about 8-12 months previously to "start over" after neglect. Has been running for 2 years however with 2 clown fish living in it. It is a 75gallon setup. Any suggestions on wear to place the...

I apologize I wasn't very clear on my original question. If I am fighting red algae, should I have my lights lower or higher away from the glass lids? Also should I turn the intensity down? Thank you

Hello All. I am fighting some red algae and needed a little advice on my lights. I have 2 LED fixtures above the tank. When I started experiencing this problem I moved them up to about 20" above the lids. I hoped this would help. It hasn't. Water parameters are all within the recommended...

I have removed a lot of the rock and it has been dry for about 4 months. Should I soak it in something particular or just scrub with a toothbrush? I need to get back after this tank and clean it up. Im trying to make it a priority this year! Have a great day!

UPDATE: Well we are close to 2 years of use on these lights. Like I stated before I would update everyone on their functions. One fixture is still working great and the other fixture only runs the whites. My thoughts on this are for the price 2 years of service is fantastic. Everything in my...

UPDATE: One of the lights has lost the blues. I'm not sure what happened but they wont light up anymore. The other fixture is working great. It seems as if this could be fixed but I may just replace for the price. Whites are working fine still on that fixture.

I'm trying to recover from a major green bubble algae problem. I definitely lacked on care for the tank for months and am paying the price now. I have bubble algae in my return lines, overflow, power heads, covering rocks, etc. I'm starting to manually remove and water change every weekend. Any...

Lights are still working fantastic! About 16 months of everyday use. The only negative I can say is that the fan guards start to rust.....but I clean mine often and have no problems. I'm very happy with these lights and value! I hope everyone else has good luck!

Update: Lights are still going strong and working great! Very pleased with them to this point.

Great build to follow! Very similar to mine, but on a much larger scale. :) Great work!
