That looks Sweet Ken, looks like you might have to shorten the bottom of the light arm a bit once you have it all dialed in.

Yeah I'm thinking so, dont want it to be to close to the sump lol, get a bunch of salt creep in there and that would suck!
The wife's digging it, I got the nod of approval lol so this is a bonus as well, cant wait to get into the living room, and junk the old nano

Aqua scaping started! I went for an open look with lots of swimming room, and shelf work on the rocks, a few hidden tunnels built in! Very happy with the result so far
