Set-up is pretty cool looking. On the video you showed some Christmas lights and said that you would explain them later but then you didn't. Now I'm curious! What are the Christmas lights for?

D'oh....I noticed that I forgot to explain them. They come on just before the fluorescents go out at night. They stay lit for another hour or so. They are really inexpensive moon lights. The Cardinal Tetras look really cool in the resulting purplish light.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.  So love the people who treat you right.  Forget about the one's who don't.  Believe everything happens for a reason.  If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.  If it changes your life, let it.  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
