They were included with the setup..

tank
stand
lids
lights
for $400

Lights alone are half of that.. killer deal..

I don't even know what 'actinic' means...

They're primarily used in saltwater setups.

The other thing I would recommend is creating a sense of depth with the sand and rocks. If you can, try to build up the sand a bit higher in the back, so it slopes downward towards the front of the tank. Put the very largest rocks primarily in the back (although don't do it too uniform, because that will look unnatural too!).

Pictures are crappy, too much refection coming from everywhere.. sorry about that...

Ok, this is what I came up with, and I think I did a sucky job.. but to build the height in the back, I burried the PVC pipe i have.. eel and anyone else who wants to hang out still can.. opening are open..

I don't have everything that will eventually go in there, so it leaves my eyes unsatisfied..
