    Uno Mas. This is my wiring job for those T5s (which have LOTS of wires). I used some split tube from Radio Shack to hide the wires, and then used clips to hold the tubes in place around corners. I am very happy with how it came out. I also mounted 2 computer fans into the back of the canopy to keep the lights cool.
    ...I think my fish just farted.

    Everything is looking really good. I do have one suggestion. I would recommend moving the ballast some where else, away from the potential spills and overflows. You might consider moving it up between the fans or up inside the cabinets. Any where water is not likely to hit it. A little salt water splashed on that ballast could result in a fried ballast and worst case a fire followed by a flood. Just my two cents.
