Well, we had our big "aquarium reveal" party this weekend (oh, and I guess there was also a gender reveal for my daughter, it's going to be a girl!!). Everyone was impressed. I'm happy with how this build turned out. The tannins from the driftwood actually help soften the look, which I think...

Here's a couple pics with the new lights, blues on in the morning, then a blend of blues and white.

I'm surprised that my plants are still green considering the water has been a constant 70 degrees, much cooler than these plants typically grow in, actually seeing some impressive growth. If they continue to thrive I'm planning to put some in the aquarium, although it's almost a guarantee...

Finished building my light and auto feeder frames. One unknown is how well this light and food in the feeder will hold up to the humidity. I have a thermometer/hydrometer under the lid to monitor the levels. Does this visitor mean I no longer have an aquarium, but a pond? Lol.

Keeping the bright lights off to let them acclimate to their new home. They look so much better in real life than I can capture with a picture.

My little peanuts arrived today, I couldn't get a food count but they all survived the trip. The company said since they are so young it's not uncommon to expect a 20% loss during the acclimation process. We will see.
