    Bloomin heck Gaz, thats some bad luck all rolled into one. Stick with it, I bet it's your dad set to try you & he's laughing down at you watching you pull your hair out....
    Out of all thats happened you have all of them sorted ie, you know the fault with the lights, your doors will be sorted asap, your skimmer part arrives tomorrow & a hack saw will sort your runners out.
    Chin up pal.

    If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
    Stick with it and chin up - a living reef is something special in your house.

    As said Gaz, if it were easy you'd get bored! Stick with it chuck. We all get runs of bad luck from time to time...I'm having a mare with my osaka which looks dreadful at the mo, but I know if I stick with it then it will come back from the dead again and look nice once more. I could have jacked it all in, chucked the aip covered rock out and turned the tank tropical, but I am determined to give it one more go because I am a stubborn old goat at times

    Hey gaz,

    The rails that come with the key led are adjustable width - have you had a good look?

    If that's no good, I have some of the Perspex legs that can be used to rest on the sides of the tank.

    Cheers..

    Daryl

    Ps chin up, bad things are supposed to come in 3's so looking good from here on in!
