Great looking tank. Do you always keep your lights that high?

Yes......... when I set up the system I was advised to place the MH about 12" above the water level. Doesn't seem to affect anything in the system, my room is quite warm anyway and any lower will heat the tank to fast/high I feel.....at the moment I get 1.5-2 degree difference between 8am & 8pm. My BTA as settled half way up the tank and doing well....... only feeding it live/frozen every 4/5 weeks.
