When MACNA comes to a city that you would like to visit, you should take a week or two off work and fly over. You'll be glad you did! http://www.macnaxxi.com/ |

Yes, there will be gap between the top of the tank and the lighting. I will figure it out when the system is running.

Thanks. By the way, today I met Julian Sprung at the Aquarama. Seems to be a very nice guy.

Ching - you should try for MACNA this year. It is located where you can see what is to my knowledge the biggest SPS reef tank in the world at Atlantis (20,000 gal):

Looks like an amazing build. I can't wait to see the progress. I'm surprised that with all the high end equipment you didn't go with the vortech powerheads.

Great build though. I'm very interested to see the final product. Love your previous tank. Looks like the tank is going to be a serious presence in the room. |
