Help-Nova Extreme Pro Lights

[mwithy]

Hi all, through some great advice and postings, I have got my lights on my tank replaced now with the 6X54 watt T-5 Nova Extreme Pro. Tank looks GREAT!! Loving it. I have a very dumb question though, I also purchased three of the Current Lunar Link lights. I am having trouble figuring out how to install them. Do I just want to screw them into the metal reflective shield behind the lights, and have the LED light shine between them? Sorry. . really lost (and not mechnically inclinded at all) with this, and am having trouble finding specifics.

Thanks much,
Mark

Good choice on the fixture, as far as the other, somebody else is gonna have to help you with that one, I've never tried it, and I'm also not a big fan of lunar lights anyway, but thats just me.....

Thanks, absolutely love the lights so far. Only other issue I have is that it looks like 4 lights are tied into one switch, and the other 2 are off the other for on/off.

They are designed that way so you can set a timer for each set of lights, ideally you want 2 actinics(the blue ones on the cord that runs 2 bulbs, these need to come on 1 - 2 hours before the other 4 and visa-versa when they shut down, 4 off, 1 - 2 hours later the actinics turn off, this aids in the dawn/dusk simulation.

Thanks Robert. I guess that was a bad assumption on my part, with thinking three lights on each switch. Got it now. So 1-2 hours before and after on the actnics only, and then full light for about 8 hours?

Thanks,
