Sorry I just missed all those great pics you posted just before I posted. Must say your DIY light set up really lights the tank up, looks awesome Are you going to run any kind of NR system or just stick with good old water changes ?

Interesting build. You've done well considering the narrow tank.

Do those bulbs have reflectors?

If I did it all over again it would be at least 24" wide and perhaps even 30" wide, still I am nonetheless very pleased with how things have been going lately. I will post more pictures in the next day or 2.

Thanks

Go 30" ! Going 24" wide on mine was the single biggest mistake of my build Wish I had gone 36"

I was wondering about that, now I know. I would definatly have a wider tank over a taller tank any day. Really wish my big tanks were shorter and wider, longer would be nice too.

However that being said the tank looks good.

So when are you going to upgrade to the 36" wide tank?
