My 300g CustomAquariums.com tank

I kind of like the look of dark spots towards both ends of the tank. I took the 4ft off the 150 and am using a 2ft. Much smaller tank than yours though

Ive never had a tank with lights that were short. Ive always got them the full length of the tank. I guess I will see what its like and decide from there. I could just replace one of the 36" with a 48" and still get a little dark around the edges. That would give me 7' of lighting on the 8' tank.

If you raise them off the glass the range spreads a lot, which causes a lot of the light to end up spilling over the side of my tank so take that into consideration for my review. My suggestion would be to play around with them a bit and find what you like, you may also consider adding more light towards the center than to the sides.

Thanks for the ideas. Will try some of those suggestions.

Worked on my electrical and installed the power strip where my timers for the lights will go.

So the LED lighting inside the stand allows me to color change, so ground effects tank lighting!

Been down with a cold and have not done much well except fill the tank up

Side view. Very clear! Happy I went with the low iron glass!

Heaters are calibrating at 75 deg. will need to adjust them up a bit. Will put some sand in tomorrow.
