Lighting is a Coralife fixture of 2x 95 watt Power compact bulbs- one actinic, and one 6,700k. The fixture is four feet long, centered along the front panel. I tried different positions for the lighting, but this is the one I like the best.

Amazing work. I am about to get a 90 gallon glass tank and have considered trying to do the same thing. I can only hope it looks somewhat like yours!
90 Gal - 6 Iodotropheus Sprengerae, 4 Labidochromis sp. "Hongi" (2 juvies), 7 Pseudotropheus acei, 4 Metriaclima daktari (all juvies), 1 psuedotropheus demansoni
30 gal - Fry tank (Rusty's 30+, Hongi 6)

Looks great. Working on a BG for a 75 gallon. Only question I have is: most styrofoam has a clear plastic coat on it. Did u remove that before using the dryloc? anything will help. THanks!
