  My OCD turned a simple 30min tank cleaning into a 5 hour long re-do today. Been bored with the aqua-scape of the office tank lately so not only re-scaped it but also rebuilt the canopy to accept better lighting. The LED strip lights before were  bit dark for my taste. So now the canopy houses four 48" long T5 tubes. Two natural daylight and two warm color. REALLY made a huge difference in how good the fish colors look now. Just have to make a new side panel to cap the end of the canopy now and then it's done.

Thanks Jay. Even though I downsized my tanks back in the late winter...I'm startin' to get that aquarium itch again lol....had to really resist picking up another tank that I found for a super price. Must.....not.....give.....in!!!

 

Also trying to decide if I like the looks of the office one with the background blacked out or leave it open where you can see through it. I think black would make the fish colors pop even more than having it open. What do you guys think? yeah or nay?

Finished it up completely now. Yesterday I added a black background, finished the canopy, and also added some more live plants (Anubias) to go along with the existing java fern. I'm much more pleased with it now than I was before.
