Wow, that's looking really nice!! I agree, the colour on the walls sure makes the tank stand out. And I like the way you've framed it (moulding or whatever you call it?...see, I'm not handy whatsoever!).

Keep it comin!

Your wall color really does look sweet...the in-wall tank sure doesn't hurt either! How high do you have your t5s? I thought you can put them closer to the water for higher output?

Keep it up!
