    Okay...so here's the deal. I've decided to ditch the four foot rack and get a five foot rack. If you notice the tanks are a little tight on the middle shelf. I've got the extra foot inside the closet so I'll have enough room. This would also allow me to upgrade the Azureus tank to a 40 breeder which would give them more floor space. I'm guessing I'm gonna go with the CFL lights.

    I scored on a 36X18 Exo Terra on Craigs List for $50. It came with the Exo light fixture and some other things. It has heavy hard water spots on it but with lots of elbow grease I was albe to get it all off the sides and the front glass. Im not going to bother with the back panel as the background will cover it up. I have taken the plunge and purchased the LED's from Aaron at AAA Frogs. He assures me I'm going to love them. I will do a full posting on the whole light setup and everything once I get it all. He's going to make it real slick incorporating in the misting system tubes which stick up out of the top. I'm very excited.

    Here's my new tank. I'm going to do a divider down the middle to make two sides of 18x18.

    Wow, 50 bucks? Thats so awesome. I was looking at those recently and they are so pricey.
    Nice score!

    So they are putting the misting hoses hidden in the lighting fixtures? That would be so clean looking.
    Can't wait to see them functioning.

    Yeah I asked Aaron to make the plastic housing just a little taller to clear the misting "T" and then I will drill holes on each end to put the tubes through. That way all misting stuff will be concealed under the housing which would look sweet. I don't like seeing all the tubes running across the tops of the tanks. Again, my whole rack once all setup should look real clean and uniform. I didn't intend to go all Exo Terras it just ended up that way.
