Thank you! That's the one that I really like. Let me know if and when you will frag that. I was hoping the one that I got from Dirty Santa was going to turn out like that but so far it doesn't seem like it is. It was quite bleached when I got it though...

For sure will do bro

Really digging the DIY fixture. That's my next step. Possibly retrofitting my current fixture with a single LED strip.

Man Mike, The tank looks sick. You've came a long way since the last time I was there. Looking killer.
