I am getting back into the hobby (obsession) after being away for 12 years, wow 
have things changed as for as filtration and lighting.
Well here's my set up:
I just paid for a 135 gallon 72"x18"x25" from Glasscages, I pick it up on Friday in Dickson TN. here's a pick from their page, Oh I'm having my cabinet shop build the stand & canopy, I design & build homes and give them tons of work so we are bartering a trade for a nice one.
I'm leaning toward this design on the stand with the canopy not so tall.
I have a cart full of stuff at Big Al's online but here are the important ones. I haven't paid for any of these items yet so if anyone has any input on better ideas please feel free to post suggestions.
Here's where I'm really having troubles deciding, Lighting! I want the bright yet blue look of salt water and wont be growing plants. I really need some help on this purchase.
I'm leaning toward 2 of the Current USA Nova Extreme 24" 2x24W T-5 10,000K - Saltwater. the fixture comes with one SlimPaq 10,000°K bulb and one SlimPaq 460 nm actinic bulb. then maybe some leds?
Help!
Do these LEDs give the shimmering effect to the substrate?
Thanks for looking and any help yall might offer!
