Works fine, you can tune the color if it bothers you, but I like having a little bit different color in a bit of my tank because some stuff looks better with a little different spectrum.

Yeah you can absolutely do that, no issues at all! And it will not look weird! you might need to play around with the settings a little to get it all tuned in, but no issues!

How big is your tank- and what do you have in it? :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Very, very nice! :star-struck: If you can get your hands on a gen. 5 light at a reasonable price go ahead with that!

I bought 15's and I have regretted it pretty much ever since. I supplement with blades on the sides now in stead with to be fair works well for me. I only have a 4 foot tank though.

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
