I've had my sailfin for less than a year and it's already a few months away from being swapped out. It's fat and happy and has grown more than double the size in 10 months!

Side question, you doing those fancy shades for the smat farm lights yet? I'm interested in one. Also are you doing the risers for egg crate? Would rather buy from a small outfit, like yourself!

Frag Rack Egg Crate Support (4pack)
This small piece of plastic snugs into ½" x ½" square opening egg crate for fragging purposes. It will keep your egg crate 1-1/4" off the bottom (30mm) Strong PETG+ construction is surprisingly sturdy for a small part.

These lights?
I'd need to buy one up or find someone locally who has them for me to borrow.

I can get brighter photos; those turned out darker then I'd have liked.
More pics of white would be good! In the interim I owe you measurements on this Reef Octopus Classic 90 HOB skimmer cup.. Will get out the ol' tape in a bit here.

lol I have so many things up in the air right now I'm totally letting stuff slip through the cracks. Please all remind me after Indy this Saturday!
my immediate response was black because the tank and light trims are black.... then I started to second guess it and feel white would be less eye demanding and not draw your attention from the tankwith big black boxes.
Final answer- buy both black and white... I am horrible with decisions.
White.

solid! depending how things go this weekend, I may end up needing the light as a 'floor model' so to speak. It seems there may be enough interest to justify my buying one. ;DI could bring you mine this weekend to use. I would like to be on the list for one anyway

Hey Sam, can you get some of those Metallic Silk PLA and make some cool shimmery chartreuse ones? Kidding! Kidding! I'd personally go with black just because I feel like the white would be more distracting - black tank trim, black lights... White would draw your eyes more than black in my opinion because it would almost seem out of place?

So that is why I was putting off doing white shades nor my Noops but @N1tew0lf1212 ordered some white ones and I couldn't help but 'try them on'. They actually disappeared.
So, I tried a white one for my XR15 diffuser and Its like nothin' at all!
I dont even see it even though its printed in UV reactive PETG.... it just dissolves away into the white background. Will get better shots
