Looks good so far, the 12g edge seems too be easier to light cause of the height

Looking good so far. The pics sure make it seem like the new LED upgrade throws significantly more light into the tank.

Thanks, ya the led's sure made a huge difference... Can't wait to start stocking it. Also just changed powerhead to 2 425gph korilas for more flow.
