Well I've hammered the credit card again and bought some new lights for the tank, below are a couple of pictures and a question!
Setting it up was a bit tricky as my tank rim was too thick for the standard frame adapter so I had to by the large frame adapter from arcadia, even after getting that I had to do some DIY on it to make it fit the tank - It contains the following lamps;
2 x Actinic Blue T5 (12 hour photo period)
2 x 14,000K T5 (10 hour photo period)
I have a quick query the moonlighting effect looks great however when both sets of lights are on it does look a tad too (blue) should I be running both types of lamps simulatenously throughout the day, or should the blue Actinic be turned off when the 14,000k's kick in?

Next up is the UV filter a 25 Watt Vecton - nothing too exciting about it but it certainly has reduced some algae growth
As usual all constructive comments welcomed :)
