OP, I can't wait to see your setup, as I am looking at getting a T8 myself real soon. Did you get any vent hole cut outs? I wasn't sure if I should or not so would like to see what you are doing. Second question I have is, what LEDs did you go with? I wanted to do LEDs for my T8 because I like the nice crisp blue/white look for day, but wanted a low moonlight affect at night (I also do SW tanks and my light systems have the built in moonlights and I love the low moonlight it gives off). I always see people use just blue LEDs for the moonlight but it's kinda bright and this is a tank in a bedroom so I wanted it not to bright. Any input I appreciate!
