So I had a bit of an issue where the light mount touched the water a bit and I think there may have been a hairline scratch causing a little bit of surface rust.

I then invented my own little tank-mount-raiser-thingy lol.

Nice pink knife!

So the spacer thing raises the light a little away from teh waterline?

I'm a little confused too... Your after pics look to have the light mount at the same height?

I'll throw up the pics I took of the water level when I get to work :)

Here are the pics of the light now raised.

And tried to capture the shadowing the light gives kind of like the Kessils I think, or maybe all lights do this when the fish is that close to the sandbed lol but it reminded me of the Kessils

Very nice.

Do you think it will not rust over time anyway though? I mean, there is obviously some sort of exposed steel for it to rust?

 

[leodb89]

I guess it will because it is exposed where the holes are for the screws on the inside of the tank but we will see how it goes I guess.
