Thanks Greenmaster. Can't wait to see your tank take off. You've really shown your ability to be patient these last couple of months. Good job!

I will be very interested to see what you think of the lighting , and how it works out for you . I was looking at these as a possible option one day for me as well.

Everything looks well done so far . Great job.

That's a clever way to slide your light! I think I just sorted out how I'm going to allow my pendants to individually slide within my canopy thank-you =)

Thanks Rus. To be completely honest, I am not 100% convinced these lights are going to work for me. I've done my homework though and I am about 99% sure they will be awesome. Either way, the lightning effects are cool.

I have a long journey ahead of me before my tank looks anything like yours. I'm having fun so far. BTW - I changed my mind about the Dispars. I going with Bartlett's.

Hey Bret - Funny you should say that. I'm taking my ideas from your earlier builds. Once the build settles down, I'm going to be in the market for some linear actuators.

Brad,
Tank is coming along nicely. Just through your thread and I am thinking of running a deep sand bed myself. I will be lifting my rock work as well, never thought of that before, good idea. You will have to keep us informed on your lighting route, like yourself, I am not completely confident on the LED fixtures. Alot are showing up on the market, and I have not seen a lot of tank have complete success....yet. There are a few on RC that are claiming to have great outcomes, so who knows, I am still a couple months off committing to one or the other, but I do have something in mind. At any rate, tank looks good.
