I am really liking the LED lights from Marineland. I bought the light pod (it fits their ten gallon set up) for $40 after using one on my 125g. This thing pushes nice crisp light all the way to the bottom of these tall tanks. I used foam tape around the edge so it doesn't reflect out from the surface of the glass lid when you are enjoying the tank in the dark.
So the tank is done, I have three green tiger barbs, four regular tiger barbs, and a syn hybrid in the tank now. I may try to add a bristlenose pleco later if the syn doesn't get too mean.
Here's a daytime pic with no lights on in the tank, it is just the light in the room. Then some pics with the LED light and no other light in the room. The last is the LED light pod on the top of the glass lid, so small yet so much light.
