Lights please... Since its an inwall, I wasn't too worried about having a sexy light fixture. There's so many options out there and I wanted to incorporate different technologies in my lighting to benefit from the strengths of each. I've always been a MH guy but decided on a T5/LED combo this time. Plans are for 7x 80w T5 and two BuildMyLED actinic strips, with two Kessils for shimmer. Here's the light rack build from 8020 aluminum materials...
This aluminum railing is fairly easy to work with, just got to have a good design and measurements before you order the material.

Really wanted to order a new tank but I decided to hold off for now. The long side is clean, and the short side is well... short. New tank is very expensive for one, but there were other reasons. Its taken a lot of fruitless labor to get to this point and I didn't want to have to delay the build at this point because I may have lost my drive. Also, the family was really excited to choose their fish and see them in the tank. Telling them they would have to wait another 2 months probably would have put me on the **** list. So I decided to build on, and upgrade glass later.
A great reefer also told me..." it doesn't matter what's on the outside, it's what's inside the tank that matters."
