Are you able to measure PAR at any height change you can make temporarily. Like if one more inch works. You know... it fits and puts the PAR where you want it. Could we possibly 3D print new mount leggs?

Not cheap but they DO make dim-able T5 fixtures. But I am curious... how many inches off the water are the lights.

What length graduated diffuser do you need. I found a four foot one for 12 bucks

A quick search and I found one called a matrix pattern. And there are others. They are T5 plastic sleeves that go over the tube and a simple rotation of the sleeve adjust the amount of diffusion

Blue Zoo Aquatics. Claims to Be able to get blue ones in 6 sizes. However. This is a difficult animal to keep. And it WIILL. Not might... eat anything that accidentally wonders into its reach. Of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder but given this animals reputation and the fact that...
