I do yes but But I had a complete system strip down due to a cheap Chinese pump running one of UV systems. It produced a fault and overheated my aquarium and pretty much everything melted. Such a sad day. So I have to start all over again which is whyt I have joined here as Whilst doing so I want to take this opportunity to change my lighting. Are Kessil AP700's any good? I think I would need two hanging about 5-7" above water

I used an AP700 over my 40 breeder and absolutely loved it. If you can, do the AP700 with the aquatic life t5 hybrid fixture, and you'll be golden. I had this setup over my tank and everything grew like crazy and looked amazing. But the AP700 by itself is still an amazing light
