Re: Andyh's 190l Lounge tank.
So my ADA Solar I (150w metal halide) has arrived from the boys at The Green Machine, I opted for the NAG Green bulb instead of the standard one and i am gob smacked how good the tank looks it looks very natural, the greens are fantastic, incase you hadn't guessed i am not a big fan of the red hue bulbs.
So the moment of excitement: (so excited i didn't even bother getting the pic in focus

)
Next job was to protect the tank and fasten a batten to the ceiling with some stainless hooks to hang the light from:
My mounting point, once painted white blends in nicely
A few of the light itself now, which is a thing of beauty:
Can you tell i am very happy with it?
So here it is, and to be fair my photography skills don't do it justice!
Its currently sat at about 40cm above the tank, and in a week or two plan to lower it to approx 30cm from the water surface. It really is stunning and provides enough light , to light my entire lounge.
😉 also the ripple effect really adds a new dimension of depth and feel to the tank.
Lets just hope i can keep the algae at bay!

Thanks for looking
