Re: [APD] In reference to Dave T's lighting suggestions



I thought he was talking aobut having the bulbs on top of
the tank with one end of the bulb at the front and one end
at the back. The differs form the conventional setup, which
runs the bulbs parallel with the long dimension of the
aquarium.

I don't think there was a susggestion to put bulbs on the
front aquarium panel.
