Hi all,

Thanks for the lovely feedback - it's really appreciated. :)

One thing that's been really bothering about my set-up is the black cables running down from the lights.

I've had a few ideas and suggestions from friends but I had my own brainwave today....

White heatshink tubing.

This simply shrouds the black cables. You heat up the heatshrink and it encloses around the black cables. Obviously the white will hopefully blend in with my walls and be less of a distraction.

Sounds like a good plan to me you can get it from

You can also get spiral cable tidy stuff in white I think. A little easier to put on in some ways, (i.e you wouldn't have to remove plugs etc) though the black might show through in places, and it's fiddly in its own way. I used a black version to cover the dodgy bend in my DIY light hanger.
 
If your tank is gonna be there for a while, you could consider adding some electrical wiring on the ceiling? Then the wires would snake down via the hanging kit. Not so sure about the controller though.

I thought about this but it would surly limit the adjustment to the lighting. Ie distance from tank

Will be another beauty George.
The simplicity of the plant choice will enhance the natural feel I think.
Really like the addition of the transitional stones to the right sand area too :)
Cheerio,
Ady.
