Someone else has just told me that I am going to have way to much light in the tank. So, here are my options and some questions: 1. Use reflectors but in reverse. If so, how should I angle them? 2. Disconnect a single bulb as per previous diagram (thanks again). If I do this, which should I...

Love the big rocks. My only worry is buying them and not knowing where to put them. I have three decent sized driftwoods to use too. Might post a piccie or even do a journal :)
