Still working on the flow I just need to fill it up with SPS to slow it down.

This reminds me I forgot to turn it on before I left, as I don't have it on timers yet..... Oh I will use the full potential of the light once I get the timers set up and acclimate my family to it

Good to see you lobsterboy your new setup is going to be nice, and the 5 foot PM is a great way to go.

Just need to get some more fish's and frags in and I can just sit back and enjoy.

Yup you can sort of see it in this photo I will post a better shot later, I got some screen door material to make a frame then ordered some clear 1/4 polypropylene mesh and created a very nice top.

I find that I get no light loss, and have some Velcro to it down so it wont lift up.

The eel that I was going to get had an incident before I was able to bring it home so I am waiting for another.

I ordered if from a guy that did the same thing here is a link to his build, he had to order the mesh in bulk so he is selling it off, it was around 30 bucks including shipping for just over 6x2 feet if I recall.
