    Very nice

    Any plans for covering/painting the back?

    Kinda light on the LR,
    but it does look very nice

    Beautiful colors. That light really brings out the colors.
    As well congrats on your book Tony, I read your blurb on advanced aquarist. Selling out is quite the accomplishment.

    Covering the back glass was the next part of the project, but that was changed for the importance of covering the top.

    PM, me about your light needs.
