Wow. That's fantastic! The aquascaping is fantastic! What a tank, really - wow... You say building it was humbiling - seeing it is humbiling. I have two question though.

First, do your lights have some sort of cover on them that opens and closes (slowly) for a sunset/rise effect? It almost looks like there is a tarp underneat them in a picture. Or am I just crazy?

Second, the way you've used PVC to aquascape your tank, you've drilled holes so that it doesn't fill up with dead water, and to let air out when you put them it - but, could you add a pump to them and get a really random flow throughout the tank? Does anyone think this would be worthwhile to do? Mayby not in this tank persai, but say in a tank that has a flow problem?
