Last episode you guys were talking about the Axie tank… Here is a link to a company that sells EVERYTHING.  http://www.mcmaster.com/#aluminum/=ynfwyk     They obviously have aluminum screen.  You were talking about lighting.  Check out the Elive set up.   The diversity of the light is AMAZING!  And it is relatively cheap for the base unit that includes a couple of basic white and blue modules.  http://elivepet.com/fish/lighting/led-module-track-light/
