I was thinking of a nice shelf but none of them came out 15" from the wall. I am already planning to make a canopy because I feel too much light is being bled out everywhere across the room and since I have an open top, I'd like to have a way to keep jumpers inside the tank. We'll see, I am researching canopy plans right now.

Everything has been going well. The little frags of birdsnest I got from Craigar exploded and are growing like crazy since I put these lights on. The Hollywood stunner is also growing fairly quick. Everything, except maybe my mushrooms love the light. The candy cane frag I have only had two heads a month ago and now it has 4-5.

With that being said, I came home yesterday to one of the led panels floating in my tank, still semi attached to the wall mount. The moly plugs I used must be crap. I have never in my life used moly plugs but thought for a 5lb panel it would be safe. Anyway, looks like the light may be salvageable and the breaker threw before anything in the tank could be electrocuted. I disassembled the led panel and will post pics later. Water only got to the leds on the bottom side. None of the other electronics got wet. Fingers crossed
