Looking nice. Left side is very strong in comparison of right side.

What kind of explanation? i havent understood. This is a open type tank and the lighting hood is hung on top of it with a gap of about 6 inches. The lighting combination is the same for the last couple of years after trying out many permutations & combinations. I found the 55W PL (4 pin light) is quite economical and suits well for a tank of this size.
