So I have finally decided to take down my 45g cube and my 120g tanks and set up a 80 deep blue 48x24x16. I have never had a rimless tank, but considering it. Those of you that have had both, how do you feel about rimless? I would need a net top for fish, how do I accomplish this without making...

I bought an older model fixture (with 2 knobs on top to adjust white/blue) used and have no idea how to program it. I went on their website, but could not find instructions there. I am having surgery in the morning and really need to have it set up prior. How do I program the built in...
