    Looks great.

    Did the par38s come with that white face or did you paint it to match the track system?

    Thanks
    The white ones are a newer model then the black ones. I'm thinking about painting the other ones white though so they all match.

    Looks like some brs netting is in order. Just checked out the tank before I go to sleep and my new goby must have got freaked out and almost jumped out. Lucky he jumped into the overflow box and not onto the floor.

    I have a stupid clown that gets in my overflow box at least once a week. He never makes it out of the tank though. It's annoying having to get him out all the time.

    Well went to home depot to get eggcrate and decided just to do the screen tops.
    26 dollars total.
    I used bird netting and doubled it up. Worked out great. [​IMG]
