Here is the divided tank(notice, how all the feeder fish have gone over to the smaller res, Diesel's side :lol: )...

Here are the suction cups that hold the underwater divider down, I can also remove it easily for cleaning...
Image

Image

Here are the brackets that hold the above tank basking dock divider, I can just slide it out to life the floor up for easy access to the tank...

Image

Here is where the underwater light fits in...
Image

Tank could care less, he just likes his fish...
Image

But Diesel STILL WANTS A PIECE OF TANK!!!! He flutters at him though the divider. Moron :lol: ...

That basking area is awesome!!! I really like the idea of the tint you put on the plexi-glass, I need to get something like that for my turts, that way i could watch them bask, with out them thinking I'm Diablo come to get them...

Yes, I bulit the whole thing from scratch. I don't understand what you mean by night time? Do you want to see a pic with the lights off? It is hard to get a pic without the flash of the camera messing up the way-one mirror. :)
