Okay figured I would post this up so you all, could see my new lighting retro. I am going to need some advise from you pros though, on my beginning lighting schedule. The new light have due cords so I can run them on different timers.

So how long do you think I should run my blues and whites? My old light was the stock pc lighting which was two 36watt pc bulbs. So I am more than doubling the old light in the tank.

Any who here are the pics:

Forgot to get a picture of the hood fully gutted, but I ended up having to cut off most the tabs to get the new unit to fit...
