    Nice to see another 20 gallon around here. I love the LED's, they look to be DIY?

    What kind of skimmer did you get? and you gotta be pretty excited to get the water in that tank. Thanks, Im hoping when I get the extra LEDs it will light my tank better right now because the two ends of my tank are pretty dark right now.

    Sweet skimmer, and I don't think I could have waited a year haha. Have you thought about doing DIY LEDs? I was debating between one of those tangs and a tomini tang and I ended up going with the tomini =] He is an awesome fish!

    I think i wanna go 6 bulb t5. LED's are awesome, but this route will be cheapest for me atm. maybe LED's somewhere down the line.
