Ok so there was a slight problem with the lights. I didn't pay attention to what I was buying  . Was so concerned about getting a 20" fixture that I didn't pay attention to anything else. The tank is 20" by 10", and the lights fit 20-24" by 11.5" or bigger. So the brackets weren't gonna fit, and I don't wanna hang the lights. I also broke this little piece on the lights while trying to force it to fit my tank!! ahhh... But I got that taken care of today - another piece will be here in 3-5 days, and I got a new tank *snuck outta work*  that will hopefully fit the lights. Who buys lights to fit a tank anyways?? You get the lights FIRST, then you find a tank!!!
So I bought a background too....
And tank came with a bonus: a dead cricket- YAY!!! w00000000t!!!!!!!!!!!! YUM!! Crickets a la Empty Tank is a much better dish then Damsels on Pizza!! |

Why don't you order 10' lights so you have to get a really, really BIG tank??  |
