All I did was get rid of the stock current USA bulbs, I replaced them with

Blue+
75/25
fiji purple
Aqua sun

I'm going to Calgary next week end and planning on picking up some more bulbs and possibly another fixture so not sure if I'm going to stick with the same mix or add a little more blue.

If the pic is fairly accurate in color I think you could get away with a little more blue.

Ugh, you guys pull this on my when I'm planning a new tank?

The (soon to be dismantled) 10 gallon... I didn't clean the glass, excuse the fingerprints and salt creep.

Thanks. I've been trying to figure out how to correct my white balance and exposure in my tank shots and here's a better photo:

Gorgeous tank Canadian

I'll post this one since I just moved everything to a 5.5 gallon. Much better... I'll be scraping this one religiously.

I drilled the rock with a hole saw and secured it on a 1/2" PVC frame. There are a couple spots where I also secured rock to the PVC frame with cable ties (zap straps) in addition to running the PVC through the drilled holes.

How many pieces did you attach together? Using 1/2" pvc + holesaw is an excellent method
