Yes, and they look nice at night. I really like this light fixture. It has 2 ballasts, 1 for the 2 main lights and one for the actinics.

I have a 48" T5 HO setup with led's.

Is it true that you can substitute the activated carbon in an Emperor 400 with another form of media such as ceramic rings? If so, do they go in the same trays as the carbon or do you place them in the filter body?

I built this stand a while back for my 55 gallon tank but I built it to accomodate a 90 gallon tank when I decided to upgrade. I might have overkilled it just a little because the frame is all 2x4 and a couple of 2x6. It is wrapped with cabinet grade red oak plywood and eventually I will finish...
