Wow, that's looking really nice!! I agree, the colour on the walls sure makes the tank stand out. And I like the way you've framed it (moulding or whatever you call it?...see, I'm not handy whatsoever!).

Keep it comin!

Looking good, now you just need some sps to finish things off.:wink:

Your wall color really does look sweet...the in-wall tank sure doesn't hurt either! How high do you have your t5s? I thought you can put them closer to the water for higher output?

Keep it up!
