Thanks Dougster, I am going to use the same color stain I used on the 8'er. It's a stain & urathaine all in one, color is Pecan to contrast the roof and floor in my living room.

Thanks bud, I am also thinking of doing the same thing with the wings on the stand once I get the tank complete & running.

Thing looks pretty menacing! So the rows of LEDs don't overlap? looks like you have a centered back fixture and then two flanking in the front?

I'm taking bets now btw on how long till this tank sees corals =)
