looks great just wait until your rock gets some color it will look even better, any reason for the over-sized light

you guys are really pushing sps with power compacts. you can keep lower maintenance onces but nothing like acros. even if sps lives under your lighting, it will not hold its color. minimum you guys need t5-ho lighting and i will say that you need a minimum of 4 bulbs with a decent fixture and decent bulbs.
