| The pictures do not do it justice. They look good on one LCD monitor but washed out on another. Colors are very vibrant in real life. |

Some shots of the tank workings. This past week I've made a RDP refugium out of the biowheel chamber and some xmas lights. Since I was doing this I decided to remove the DIY solar moonlight and make a blue light from the refugium lights. Wiring is a bit crude but will be sured up better when I've decided not to keep tinkering. I've seen other mods to this Eclipse model and I've thinking of adding yet another 13 watt bulb since others have got two to fit in the hood.   |
