what you did with the light was EXACTLY what I had in mind

My wife wanted a clean look that blended with the rest of the livingroom/kitchen. So i figured a swing arm would be prefect. Plus i like the fact that i can move when needed out the way.

With Screws... They come with them, free... lol

Its a swing arm lamp from homedepot for 29.99. What i did was installed it on the otherside of the wall on the kitchen side. The lanp was installed upsidedown so that the bulb fixture would be able to point down instead of up. Then i just attached the shade. It was simple left a clean look and i dont ever have to remove the lamp for anything... Just swing it to eitherside so possitioning is never an issue.

More pics of the light setup will me posted later tonight.

If one didn't have money left for food perhaps one needs to re-evaluate one's life and involvement in the hobby lol. :splitspin

So without waisting anytime...

Light set up - kitchen view

More pics of how you put that light up please...lol:scratch:

So here is the light setup. Although its not finished you can see what the idea is. I am going to hide the cable by using something like this:

http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc...splay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

Then i will paint it the same color of the wall, or maybe just leave it white. Not sure yet. But whatever i end up doing it will cover the power cable so it doesnt stand out as much.

First tank drilled!!!

Update:

So the first tank has been drilled and it all couldn't have gone better. I was pretty nervous and stopped numerous times to check and make sure i didnt crack anything yet. Took me a while too due to the stopping but mostly because i wanted to go slow and steady... You guys know what im talking about... lol

Anyway! The hole came out pretty good with only a few minor chips but once you put in the bulkhead everything is gone and you have a nice clean look!

So my first time was pretty great. I was pretty excited and felt like i have moved to the next level in the reef world...
