Hi Alexander, yes its a Chihiros A series 401. The first light was just a flood led on top of a stand, and since I have this one laying arround here I bough a stand and use it.

Atm its on full power 8h a day, thats why the stones are a little bit green

I still havent found the exact betta that I want, and I'm not rushing it.
