We are going to use this in our new build. The tank is 24" deep. Anyone else using this? I would love to see everyone's pics and pros/cons.

First, I'm happy to discover they have made the frosted film available in a size to cover our 30"x24" deep cube tank! I hope my emails helped with that. I also plan to mount this at the top of the tank to maximize the light display instead of it being hidden behind the rockscape. I'm definitely open to suggestions and tips!

This is about 1/3 what I paid a couple of years ago.

You can get a similar effect by placing an led bulb behind the tank and angling some aquarium background from top to bottom behind the light

I like it with blue better, more natural but nice to change to whatever your mood.

Do you see any issues with the film that came with it?
