t5 actinic light fixtures

[hobogato]

christy wanted to add some actinics to her mantis n micro tank, so i picked up a t5 retro setup from tater and made a couple of strip fixtures to fit on the edge of the tank. the goal was to add actinics w/o messing up the clean and simple look of the tank.... whattaya think?

Looks good. Did you heat up the acrylic to roll it on the top side?

i used a propane torch and a jig to heat and bend the acrylic into a U shape.
