This is my 29-Gallon FW Aquarium.
As you can see, there's a bit of a problem. For a planted aquarium, the light is pretty dim. Sadly, over time, my plants have suffered from the lower light.
Considering I didn't have many options in the interim, I decided to do a hick job of trying to get extra lighting. Thus creating this ugly beast.
I wedged in my 10G fixture to add just a little extra light. =P Please feel free to laugh--I did.
So! I purchased myself a new fixture and canopy. Canopy came today.
Unfortunately, I've had a **** of a time trying to get the plastic slip to slide onto the glass properly. I finally gave up for another time after a number of these:
Has anyone had such problems trying to get the plastic to slide onto their canopy? Not for nothing, exercise and workouts are a huge part of my life and I was struggling...
Anyways, more pics up later after I get the new fixture and as I set it up!
