I finally have lighting over my new 20g tank! After searching and debating, I decided what I wanted, and with the help of our friend davejnz, my tank is now bathed in beautiful light!

David built a canopy for me out of a nice, high quality wood, which I will stain to match my stand. There are 4x24w T-5 bulbs (GE 6500K, UV Super Actinic, Giesemann 11000K Aquablue Plus, and a Giesemann Actinic/Blue Plus) running off an IC660 ballast.

Below are a few pics. I will try to get one that shows a better representation of the bulb color when I get back from vacation. (I'm going to miss you guys! I hope there will be an internet connection where I'm going!) These pics don't do it justice... the coloring is (to me) perfect - a pale purplish blue... and HOLY COW is it ever bright!

THANK YOU DAVID!!! I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR ME!!!
