Would that light happen to be a JBJ formosa deluxe? Wow, your tank specs are almost identical to mine, excepting the rock poundage. However living 72 miles from teh nearest LFS isnt good for my livestock count, heheh. Do you mind if I save your picture as a model a re aquascape? very nice pictures BTW, I love the third one

I'm glad you like it.

Yes it is a JBJ formosa. Not a bad light. The fans are a bit loud and the feet are cheaply made (broke the first pair, the screws pulled out), but it was rather inexpensive. When the ballasts go on this I'm switching to a 6+ T-5 setup. I have a 4 bulb T-5 light on my 29g seahorse tank and the quality of the light is noticeably better.

Feel free to keep, or use any of these pictures.
