    How do you like the tank so far? I have been thinking about getting that tank or the 16 for my desk :)

    A little overkill for me, but thanks. This is my 'til I'm done with school and wanna keep it simple tank.

    Its great so far, but its only been running for about 6 hours.

    Today I broke my single piece of base rock into a few small irregular ones. I'll go with this scape for now. It is going to look good covered in zoos and rics.

    I think it looks much better in the smaller pieces.

    So the stock Skyye light doesn't have the spectrum to really accentuate to red, orange, pinks of rics and zoas.

    Looking to put a 12" BML, and I want a touch of magenta. I'm going for spectrum, not power. (Yumas)

    What do y'all think of this?

    It's all coming together. My goodies from the BRS group buy hit my front porch this afternoon. I installed a Apex Jr and heater. This is my first time with a controller, not bad for a tricked out Arduino.

    Nice spot to do a little homework.
