Hey i just got my new lighs up and running

I added an extra 2 36w bulbs to my original 1 36 w bulb giving me 108 watts if light thus giving me 1.9WPG.

I basically bought a double 4ft flourescent fitting and was planning on simply mounting this on my hood. This however was too big for the hood so I decided to buy 2 lots of spare end caps made by arcadia and rewired the whole thing. Now this probably cost as much as buying a double light controller designed for fish tanks but meh I didn't know it wasn't going to fit lol.

There's some pics for you to take a look at, the top one is the tank with jus the 1 light on, the middle one is the tank with all 3 lights on and the bottom one is the lighting unit when it was rewired.



PS: You can't really see too much of a difference in the photos but believe me you can see a massive one in real life
