Thanks guys =)
Be a while yet. Second child on the way doesn't help lol. Next up is my light rack which will be angled aluminum with a wood skin but with 3 reflectors, bulbs and a schwack of t5s it is going to require some careful saving. The build thus far has all been done with money I can scrape up on the side. I used to have a pretty nice collection of out of print cds =)

Can't wait to see more updates, I like the idea of the sliding front and matching it with the fireplace

Just snapped some shots of the new light after I got it mounted to the ceiling. It is a 12x80w Sfiligoi Stealth T5. Has some nice features such as true individual reflectors per bulb, 6-fan active cooling and a 3-piece glass shield that spans the entire bottom of the fixture. I left it out for the shots.
I'd love to show some pics of it firing bulbs. The hilarious part is that bulbs are not in my budget for a while it seems. Interesting fact: I was precariously straddling the sink on top of the kitchen island with my camera nearly touching the ceiling for shot number two. Since the top view is my favorite of the light and nobody is ever going to see it I thought it deserved some sweet lovin'.      Last edited by lastlight; 01-25-2009 at 07:09 AM.

a long build but well worth the wait this is what a dream tank should look like.
I guess one way of looking at it is it's almost like morgaging a car only payments are whenever you want!

Wow! Looks amazing.
Now I can't wait to get my new tank (mid Feb.) Its the exact same dimensions but just 2" shorter making it about 20G less. And I have an internal overflow instead of external. Hope it ends up looking half as good as this! Can't wait to see it filled up.
