Noice!

Youre tanks look a little weird. Not the decor, but the tanks them selves. Whats with that?

The 15g was handmade by a friend's husband, so it has extra-high side walls, so that the light is about 8 inches above the cover glass.

The little 6g? Well, I wanted both lights to be at the same height, so I made a little wooden stand for it. So it's about a foot above the cover glass. Now, I have no skill in woodworking at all, was constantly ignored by teachers, so it ain't stylish.

Then, I have the 15g pointing one way and the 6g at a right angle to it.

Is that what you meant?

Well I would have posted the same question and that's what I would have meant. Just looked odd, that's all. Nothing wrong with it, except your woodworking skills. KIDDING!

Nice! Glad you're both into it too! Hubby just hauls my water for me...which is much appreciated by the way...

My woodworking skills? Where are they?!
That was the best I could do. It's functional, not beautiful, but it's really stable, and that is what counted.

As for the handmade tank with high side and rear walls - yeah, it's a bit freaky (and does add to the weight of the tank which is bit of a bummer) but the principles are sound.

Thanks for comments everyone - and sorry that the Kuhli wasn't more identifiable!
I need to read all the threads and advice here about photographing a lot more carefully, methinks.

I don't know, my photo skills are pretty good, my camera just can't keep up. I think.
