Did you make the stand? What's the wood, waterfall bubinga
or figured cherry or something?


The stand was made by a cabinet maker to my design.
The wood is figured ash eucalypt. The figuring gives
the surface a nice opalescent sheen that changes with
the angle at which you view it and with the incident light.


Good call on that, it really works well.

Youknow if you wanted more light you could lower the fixture
an inch or three. Light intensity degardes with distance 1/r**3 or
something.

Most of my tanks have lights that are very very close - and
I have the alage to prove it when I let them slide a bit.
