Putting this aquarium together was like assembling a giant puzzle! The directions that came with this setup left a lot to be desired. (For a beginner like me.) However, I must admit that the person who helped me through the whole process at Tenecor was very nice and helpful. Then there was the fish-feeding hole...


I had the sump in backwards at first,
and had to take it out and reattach it the other way.

They centered the fish-feeding hole in the top of the canopy lid and when I went to install the two Power Compact light tubes side by side, they covered the hole, making it useless.
Instead of watching $133.00 go down the drain, I set up the lights end to end so I could use the feeding hole.


One of the lights was Daylight and the other was Actinic Blue,
so you can imagine what it looked like when I turned them on!

So then, I had to buy two 50/50 Daylight/Actinic light tubes, which cost another $66.00!

Murphy's Law.
All in all, it was a good learning experience.
