I will use Ushio 20,000k bulb.
I have tried Giesemann, Radium, XM, BLV.
And Ushio is my favorite in terms of color, clarity and brightness.

I love your choice in lighting. I love a tank with a more blue tint. 20ks are the way to go. What kind of vho's are you going to use?

I choose live sand because it will help my system to be stable in a shorter period of time.
I also want to use live rock but I can't.
Doing aquascape in the tank is too difficult.

Dont test fire the lamps before removing the protective plastic. It will never come off

Love the attention to detail and that you are doing it so well right from the start.
Thanks for sharing!
