You know the lighting on the tank was not in place when I took the pic, that's why it looks so crappy up there. I have some AHSupply stuff coming tomorrow but wasn't sure how I was going to install it until you guys mention something about a hood
I never liked hoods but now that it's been mentioned I believe that's what I'm going to build .Nice and low profile, Black mica. Stick a bunch of 96 watters in there.
To answer the question , yes , it's mica . Yes , I need 2 FX5's because I like the flow,I like to filter the heck out of my tanks. Yes , they are exactly where they are suppose to be. And thanks for the compliments you guys , and even you Buddy Boys .
