    I'm going to break the DSLR out and relearn it soon enough. But for now, here are a couple teaser shots. They came out much darker than it looks to the eye, and the t5s aren't on because I lost the cable. He's sending me a new one out.

    Taking shots with LEDs are always a pain in the ass! Congrats on getting the light up!

    Programming is easy if you read directions first and then program. Lol.


    I just need to hook up a windows computer within bluetooth range of the light and it will be easy peasy. I'm going to hook one up to my media center so I can watch netflix easier.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    What a beautiful room, it screams Man Cave. Looks very relaxing.

    Anything on the water is good by me. You must fish?

    The bare bottom actually works well in that tank. Going to need a Barnacle Blenny.

    Maybe even a couple barnacle blennies :) I'm so jealous of your view! I want to get a house on the water so badly. Grew up on lake erie and miss it very much!

    I did have just a quick comment. The workmanship on your canopy is unbelievable! However, I think when you look at the room, the tank does not pop like it would without the canopy. I'm not good with spatial skills and such - just a layman in terms of design. I just know what your tank is going to look like given your history and I'd just be curious to see how the tank would look in the room without the top? Just a thought.....I find my eye looking up rather than 'at' the tank, does that make sense?
