Ok cool thank you for the word of caution, I will only use one screen. Yes the seller is Topdogsellers. They are cheap lights but I don't know of there quality (I may just go with the hagen's I posted earlier with some decent reflectors).
Just to give you guys a little background info my tank is a 140 and have a 40 for a sump.
The screen I am planning on using will most likely be 20Lx10T.
I am waiting for my water blaster hy5000 to come in the mail (tomorrow or monday).
I am going to try a BA overflow (probably wont work).
There will be 6 cichlids in the display, one in the sump(until i find him a new home), 1 pleco (smaller breed), and two silver dollars.
In your opinion will six 24watt t5's work on this?
