    I just got my material together to build my light rack. I am using aluminum angle, and C-channel. I'll suspend that on pocket door tracks so I can slide it out of the way if I need to work on the tank. Hopefully it works out as well as I'm planning.
    I'll try to get some pics together when I get it all laid out.

    What's to get used to? Everyone always talks about the shimmer, but I love it! Just turned down the water surface movement and it's golden. I like the color customization. So much you can do with em when you program them through your apex, just need the vdm tho
