Stop the world! I want to get off!

So, it's been a while since I posted here - even finding the thread was something of a job, it being on the 13th page now. I *do* have a good reason for that, and he looks like this:
[CENTER][IMG]http://0x0000ff.com/imgs/matthew.jpg[/IMG]
[SIZE="1"][B]Matthew, born 23rd Feb, weighing 7.56lbs and standing 19.5" tall[/B][/SIZE][/CENTER]
Now that mother and baby are home and doing well, I'm going to start work on the lighting system over the next few days. I've come to realize that there really isn't any "spare" time when there's a baby in the house, so I buckled, and bought some AquaIllumination Sols. I'll do the DIY LEDs over the frag-tank and quarantine tank when I get around to it.
I don't much like the sol's support brackets, so I've ordered some transparent plastic from US plastics, I'll cut out the end-braces on the CNC router, and attach them to an 80/20 extruded Aluminium bar I have lying around. If I manage to get it to look how I want, the lights will seem to be floating above the tank...
Simon. (off to feed the baby. Again.)
