thanks,I'm pretty impressed with it myself,heck,I may build one now for my 55g and see how many of them bulbs I can fit in it.

now I can get rid of that big plastic plant in the corner and put a REAL plant there :grinyes:

I intentionally left that gap/space there in the front,and one on the top to help get rid of some of the heat build-up.I'm thinking now I should have done it in the back instead of the front.
