Well we are just about all moved in here. The tank looks amazing and I love it already way better than my 75g.

No aqua scaping yet still waiting on the cloudy water. However since I added the canister filter it is cleaning it right up.

The lighting is a mess haha. However good opportunity to show you the difference in LED colors haha

From left to right

Sol White (66% white, 33% Royal Blue)
50/50 white/blue with the whites running a little higher than the blue
100% Royal Blue

I've been putting my carpentry skills through the works in the last few days finishing the stand.

Sheeted with ply

Its getting an oak trim

Followed by a Chinese cabinet look (i think, either that or pirate ship haha)
