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?!

Wow...
I have been following your build since November, and have read your whole thread. WOW.
Great job with your basement. Love what you did with, well, everything. I couldn't post comments about your progress 'cause I wasn't there. I saw your jack-posts go up for sale so I knew you had torn down your tank upstairs. Hope the missus is happy and you are ready, or almost ready, for

Your build is STELLAR.
I hope you keep it for a long time.
I am coming from FW and have been researching SW for many months...too bad for most of us that we can't build something as beautiful as yours.

BTW, I love your recent pics
I especially love the lighting of shots 4 and 15
Again...WOW
