Hey thanks! I saw it done by a ridiculous aquascaper and thought I'd try it... it's nothing fancy, only put dirt under where the black gravel is. That's where the majority of my plants will be. I like the color contrast... I enjoy being creative with these things. =) Thanks for the add.

They came in last week but I wad put of town and a friend picked them up for me. I just got back in town last nightand I will be getting them after work today. Feel like a kid a Christmas. Pumped.

Loving the lights especially that I have the choice of three different bulbs to turn on. I can't say they are brighter per say but it looks like the same amount of light. BUT my plants re growing better less algae and as you saw a flowering anubias. And te fixture does not get hot like old fixture. 

Thanks for watching the videos! It's funny watching the view count go up but it just seems like ya never receive any feedback. Anyway I'm glad to hear from you.

 

I use what's called Plastic Canvas. It's used in arts and crafts as a foundation for a certain sewing technique. My local walmart doesn't carry it (but it's a small town walmart so it's not all that large). I would suggest checking a local craft store. I'll link you to an amazon link to show you what I'm talking about but it's very expensive with shipping to purchase off amazon :P

 

You should be able to find a piece like in the link for somewhere between 1 and 2 dollars at a local craft store.
