    Awesome! Cool thing that you have dead sand and dead rock so you can stack the rock in your tank and fill sand around it while you wait for water. Should be able to get most things set up while you work out your sump.

    Haha that's funny! I bet people wonder what that strange glow is coming from your window. ;)

    When I turn them on, I need no other lights on in the room to see. And they cast this really cool blue across the living room. Then when I turn them off everything looks so yellow and ugly! lol

    hahaha i bet they think im growing a little something, also makes me wonder what the passengers on the trains think, the street is really quiet but no on the park area.

    lol and that is exactly what mine does :p teks are awesome, if these t5s are this bright, i can only imagine how bright the metal halides are.

    cant wait to see some livestock in there

    Okay, putting this sump together is really irritating me!! I'm thinking I should have just bought one! Grrrrr.....

    I have about half of it together - 2 hours later!
