The tank and stand are going to look real good with your decor. Post lots of pics OK.

Thanks! I actually have some pictures on the way.

Woke up to a bacterial bloom. Hopefully this will pass soon. I think this will be a long cycle :( Anyways, here it is, still needs to be aquascaped though.

The lights are not going to work out as well as I had hoped. I don't want a lot of lights over this tank but the CF bulbs are not enough. I may have to go with MH after all.

These are the lights for those you you who asked what they looked like:

So what I will have to do I guess is try to make a spotlight style reflector for a 250 watt MH. Problem is, the bulbs is like almost a foot long I think!!! I would love to just have stripped the socket from a regular spotlight but they are not big enough to house a 250 watt bulb.

Any ideas?
