thnx Bob_I

I need to ask, but are the lights built into some kind of top

. If so, how do you deal with heat problems

And is that a piece of SPS I see on the right side

this is a better look at how the light fixture is mounted

the tank is actualy on a book shelf ( dont worry its secure ) and the lights are cooled by a 80mm fan that is conected to my comp

this is a better look

Very nice! I like the arch. How long has your nano been running?

Very cool! Nice Arch. Are you using anything to hold the rocks together?
