The 45-gallon tank (first picture) has a bright spot on the backlit background that's bothering me, so I need to get that diffused for more even lighting, like the other tanks. Check out that giant oto on the planter pot in the upper right of the first picture.

I've got some waterproof LED lights on the way for the interior of the pagodas (second picture), and I'll be adding the second pagoda to the tank on the other side once the tin foils (my most cautious fish) get comfortable with the first one.

Sorry about my big toe photobombing the third picture. I'll post some updated pics with just the back lighting, no moonlight, once I've made those changes.

Your tank setup is really coming along, bettaMagenta - love the way the lighting is turning out.

Here's the tank with the main lights on, and the new underwater LED's in the pagodas - these are waterproof dimmable corded LED lights, inside the pagodas, on the lowest setting.

Main lights on, new LED's in the pagodas...

And with the moon light...

And with just the back light on the background.
