Can you explain what you did/how with the backlighting? I like the effect and am just a tad curious about it.

Honestly all I had kicking around was the pair of 24w T5 from my other tank =)

1 x kz superblue
1 x kz new gen

I mounted it to my pvc rack really high up and above the halides in the back of the tank so as to not interfere with the sliding of the lights. The cords didn't reach to connect to where the timers were and have the lights in the front like normal After I fired it up I liked it tho so it can stay lol.

Haha I missed this while posting. I didn't notice the melanarus wrasse doing that until later I had a good laugh. My remaining chromis swims the tank in massive circles all day like a moron. If I clean the glass he swims right by the magnet... bumps into my hand if it's in his way too?!
