You could allways spend $100-200 on some cheap 2-4 bulb t5ho fixtures as temporary light till you find something..
Where did you read about these new Sol's any word on price?

Found them through the AI facebook page, cost seems to be about 100$ more per unit than the SOL, and yes my "temp" fix for this tank will be my 2 current HOT5 fixtures end to end on top of the tank.

Well I managed to get the top and back onto the stand tonight, and start some of the electrical.
These plugs will be controlled by 1 switch and will be for my lighting system, so this way I have 2 plugs will both have a main on/off switch in case I need to turn the lights off for whatever reason. Later this week I start the other feed which will power the pumps and powerheads.

School starts Monday for 3rd year so for 2 months I will have limited income but lots of time to work on the tank.

Well its been almost a full year and its just sat in the living room collecting dust...so this past week I have really started to do something with it. Deadline for it to be setup and ready for fish is June as the wife and I are expecting a little boy in early August. I want this setup and going so its less stress when that day arrives. (Also might help de-stress sometimes lol)
Filled the tank with sand, and some base rock. Purchased 3 LED Units (Evergrow d120's) and have hung them over the tank (removed one fixture temp to hang over the older tank) Started the plumbing, I was going to use PVC pipe but I ended up going with flex just because it was faster, the overflow pipes are still PVC but only because I happened to have some left over from a previous tank. Also plan on finishing the electrical this weekend. Sorry about pic quality its just an iPhone  Loose fit on over flow plumbing.  Flex pipe on 3/4" returns  Flex fitting into the bulk head  Full Tank Shot  Full Tank Shot with LED's on 100% blue and white  Full Tank Shot LED's 100% White Only  Edit: the skulls on the tank are from halloween  they just looked neat so onto the glass they went.
