Couple drops of peroxide should do it

Hmmm, that sounds like a good idea, thanks for sharing.

Did Beyonce sing a Beatles song and a Dolly Parton song or was i blinded by the ham and made all that up?

Probably both if i had to fancy a guess!

I am very disappointed in my latest purchase from Mars Hydro.

The FC3000 EVO Seems to be OK as far as the light output goes, but I have not put a meter to it. The design of mounting the driver to the light is pretty sketchy at best.
And it's not going to be held by two ratchets, 1 wire loop connecting Each end, It's gonna tilt! So not really that big of a deal but, 4 ratchets to hang it. And with the supplemental lighting attached to it it definitely would tilt out of kelter.

But what is absolutely ridiculous and extremely poorly thought out, is the supplemental lighting and how it is hung with this light. I imagine it MAY work OK with the larger light, FC 4800-EVO, to use with this size of supplemental lighting.

The supplemental lighting should hang between the rows of the light bars. Kinda hard to do when the Supplemental lights are longer than the main light!

Even if they were shorter, you're not gonna fit 3 bars of the supplemental light between two bars of the main light! I've only got the far red and UVA bars. Even if they were shorter you could not use them with the supplied mounting. The mounting points to hang the main light and the mounting of the driver prevents mounting more than one light the way it was supposedly designed and probably does work with the different main lights.

Now I could hang them with the method that I had to use in the 2X4 tent with the SP3000. I knew that I would have to do something like that with that setup. If I hung them in that fashion in this setup, when I wanted to change the height of a light, I would have to adjust 12 hangers! I'm not doing that stupid crap!

It really wouldn't take that much time with a cad program and redesign the mount so that it fits between the bars and underneath the light since it's too long to fit on top! Even then, you can only fit two KINDS of the supplemental lights between the outer bars on this particular light. If you want to use all three of the different spectrum lights you would have to put One set in the center.

I do have something figured out that will work, but I really shouldn't have to do such things!
I'm gonna use some of the green garden hardwire to attach it to the main light. There's enough room for the whole list for hanging the light to get some of the green garden wire in there and I will have to drill four holes for the other two lights. They will hang from the underside of the light between the outer bars.

I really wish that I would have went up in like size and got the FC 4800-EVO. And really not for what I hope would be an easy installation of the supplemental lighting, but for the additional wattage of the main light.
