Looks good. I think you will be really pleased with those lights. You will be able to keep all sorts of stuff, eventually.

Re: I went big

Tank seems to be heating up a lot. What should I do. Place some fans on the tank to blow the heat away from the top of the water. Seems like it heats up pretty fast. Whats by best option to keep everything safe...?
