This looks awsome so far! I wish I had a light mounting arm like that over my tank aswell. I can not wait to see it with livestock in it!!!

You have a PM

PM replied. Sorry to say that this thing is still dry, but I still look forward each day to filling it up. As a matter of fact, I was tweaking some aspects of the plumbing just last night cause I had the itch. We are moving to Cali in January 2012 and, once in place, it will get filled. I'm now (along with what seems to be half of the free world) thinking of going with an LED fixture(s). I'm intrigued by the Vertex Illumina as well as the new Ecotech Radion fixtures. It will be nice to see the reviews and feedback from people about the Radion in the coming months. I plan to keep the PM for a future, large frag tank.

Now I'm having stupid thoughts. Luckily I'm months out from filling...maybe see a price drop (yeah, right). Pandora XM might be my favorite of the 2 below with Android control from smartphone.

JCom,

What is that thin white sheet between the tank and the stand? Is the bottom glass of the tank making contact with the surface of that white sheet? I am considering getting a Leemar and also build a custom stand. I read in some of the DIY forums that only plexiglass tank would need it since plexiglass tends to bow at the center due to pressure/weight and will need support. However it is not recommended for glass since the uneven pressure may cause the bottom to crack.

Your tank looks awesome.

Thanks
