New VHO Setup!

[fishtails]

My Icecap 430 is finally up and running. Was a very easy install with very few troubles. It's 2x75W.
Only difficulties was getting the bulbs to fit into the hood and the wires easily getting tangeled, but some tape helped that.
Here's a picture.

tape won't fall off from hanging upside down will it?...try some wire loops w/ short screws...or some short staples...

hmmhmm, thanks for the advice. The tape didn't work too well. I'm going to use a staple gun.
I got these things running on my tank and there is no hint of blue or white. It's a really pretty pinkish color, but I expected it to be a whitish w/ blue tint color.

Here it is on the tank. Thing is, it looks like a bluish and white mixture, yet in person the tank is PURPLE.

I braided my wires together to keep things clean.

I just tapped in some finishing nails and then bent them over the wires.

Setup didn't cost me anything, but if you were buying this same setup, I'd estimate it to be around 200 with everything.
what size tank is that?
It's an AGA 25 gallon. It is RR also.
