Thank you guys! dang hard to be a HVAC tech with this hot weather and have time to get this tank running, but will get there asap. Here is a little update I got the stand painted and my first packages came in for the lights and skimmer. The skimmer is a bubble magnus curve 7 and lights are 2 hamilton bali sun metal halide hoods that will house 2 20k 250w metal halide bulbs. for the sump i went with the icecap 30 sump and should be a perfect size to fit all my equipment under the tank. I Also have on order a 3/4" sheet of white cutting board to line the bottom of the tank as this will be bare bottom. i should have the canopy done this weekend and doors to hopefully put everything together.
Zoahoarder youll have to post a pic of your setup the halides with t5 sounds awesome
