Hi! Hoping to get some opinions on other lighting options for a 15-gallon column tank. Currently running two blades, grow and glow, but I'm having issues with the entire grow blade getting extremely hot, including the plug. I did reach out to AI, so I'm hoping to find a solution, but in the meantime, I'd like to get some other options.


Picture from water change day. The tank was originally going to house our dwarf seahorses, but we decided to leave them in their current setup, so it's fishless at the moment. Currently, I have a mushroom, two Xoa's, GSP, macroalgae, and a random galaxea that will be going in another tank once it's cycled.
