Since my first shot of the tank was taken last night, it looked kind of flat, so I took a couple of side views to show the effect of the sliced rock.

I've been busy and haven't had the time to post like I'd but I've gotten my light fixture done. WOW, it's bright. It's a 175W XM 15000K SE (I hope you know what all those mean, I'm not sure I do!

That's what happens when you get a deal on 175W ballasts! You put them on everything.

My entry was going to be a pico, but the water boiled out of it overnight with that 400W 20000K

Ya see that circle on the side of the light? She's headed to the flea market this morning to get a cooling fan. That might work.
And c'mon. It's only 17.5 watts/gallon. The sun's brighter than that, isn't it? Or is it?
