    Finally had some time 2 weeks ago to setup my tank the way i wanted it and took some time to do it.
    Was in a rush to get the tank going so was not to happy with this.

    Looks much better like this. A black background would make all the difference IMO.

    I like that "roadway" running underneath that arch. Looks nice, almost like a riverbed flowing underneath a fallen tree...
    Yes, be sure to post a pic with background up and water cleared. And of course, 6 months down the line when the plants have settled you can post a "before" and "after" pic ;-)

    Finally got my new light unit. Took some time to modify my lid so it can fit nicely. [[​IMG]IMG]http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/16/539149837cd804245a5d6bba70903590.jpg[/IMG][​IMG]

    Fits nicely. Was the old setup of 3x40 t8s not bright enough for your plants?

    It was leke for some plants. But looks like some of the plants just fade away.

    Very cool. Do you have trouble keeping your vallis in check?
