You can't have a build thread without kids in tank pic.

Sorry for slow updates, have not had much time to work on tank but wifey really getting tired of mess so I told her I want water in tank by Xmas . I ordered 4 radion g2 led units along with apex controller. Painted background blue, I have usually had black but gonna see how blue goes. This was also a wife's pick on color to make her feel involved. I am going to try to slide into place tomm.
