Current setup so far. Today I will be weighting some of the sand toys with stainless bolts, but keep them light enough to be picked up or pushed around. I am going to leave some floating at the surface to act as cover when the lights comes on.

Weird humor but I'm still here soaking it in. But I keep going back to the poor Oscar in the 75gal. I'll need to recuse myself at this point.
I forgot to mention you can get fake lily pads on amazon to help block overehead light. They come in packs with multiple sizes.
Just an observation electronics and water don't mix. just sayin'.
Lily pads. Terra cotta pots work too, just have to make sure they haven't been exposed to chemicals. Good to soak for a few days before use.
I put 1/4" x 1" bolt on a few sand toys to see how they sink. I am very pleased. I hope the Oscar can have fun moving them around. I have some "Finding Nemo" bath toys coming in. I will sing a few more. The bath toys coming in float and are roundish and have no holes. I am going to cut a small slit and put pea gravel with different weights. I hope to have one that almost floats, so when the Oscar bumps it it will almost bounce away. I will seal the hole with aquarium safe silicon.
