So the lighting kit was hard to install. I'm not too mechanical. lol

I would say it can give you a challenge. My father was an auto mechanic and I used to work on electrical stuff growing up. I had to ad hoc a little bit to get this project done. I would recommend having a buddy over that is good w/this kind of stuff and offering him a beer or two for his help (give him the beer after he is done and its plugged in though

For what it is worth, I found that thread of real nice BC29 project (heck, I have used it as a source several times).

Hey... I know that thread! Glad you found it usefull and good luck on that tank of yours. We enjoy ours. Looks like you have a great start. Keep up on the water changes, that is the key ingredient I have found that keeps things rolling.

Thanks for the link. It is really informative. Good luck with the tank. Keep us posted.
I might go with a custom 25 X 25 tank as it costs a whole lot for the bio cube with the mod anyway. And I will have it the way I want. Here is a link of what I have in mind
