So I was thinking about going with this. I have no idea what im doing. So I would love to get some advice... the tank is 8” deep. Light is 7” from water line... and about 12” from bottom rack. I cut out middle portion for crabs, snails, and fish to go in and out to the bottom or top... Going to home depot again to pick up some 1/2 pvs pipe for the 2nd tier...

looks fine to me. i cut strips of the light diffuse / egg Crete stuff and secured with a couple of zip ties until the super glue dried, been in there since 2009 I only have a single level about inch and a half off the bottom of the tank. works great

How did you get that pvc pipe to fit

Ground the tips with a bench grinder. Then superglued the tips to seal the gaps in the square. Looks crazy good... Was really scared using the krylon because I heard so much bad stuff about soray painting, but so far so good.
