New Aquatic Life T5 retro with GHL Mitra LX7

Got the two light fixtures set up yesterday, it was super easy to install the Aquatic life fixiture with the Mitra. The Mitra sits right in place and is held together buy two brackets. I added two Ati blue + bulbs and two ATI Actinic's and I am going to run them 5 hours a day during the high light cycle of the Mitra. The high light is white in my tank and adding the t5's will give a much bluer look and full coral coverage spectrum with no shading on the corals.
This combo is beautiful and clean looking, just wanted to show off the two lights together for anyone who is deciding on purchasing either fixture. The Aquatic life will fit multiple led lights and is only a couple hundred dollars, this in my opinion is cleanest looking and best option for T5 supplemental light.

Let me know what you think?

Be nicer when they release the 24" wide brackets so it's flush in.

I still get full coverage with no issues from the led fixture

Man I love it the way the corals look and how the two fixtures look together as well.
