I agree. Once you get over 24" deep, it does take that extra light, and for my tank, which is 35" deep, I use 1000W SE lamps.
 
Matt, It's working well with no issues. My seat-of-the-pants observation has it turning off sooner than before after cycling on. It does appear to be more efficient, whether due to the function of the barrel itself or the fact that the hot-air producing condenser/compressor being located outside now, or both. Either way, it's working out well and seemingly in a more efficient manner than prior to the upgrade.

Thanks but you're going to give me a "You care for my tank more than me." complex. :D Seriously, let me know when and I look forward to seeing you.

Joseph,

Would you mind sharing how you cut the recess for the end piece of the chiller coil chamber for the acrylic tube? I have cut grooves in a round end piece, but I'm not thinking clear enough to envision how to cut the groove on a router table for something shaped as a hexagon. Any tricks you could share?

Thanks. Matt
 
Matt,
It was actually quite easy. It entailed doing the routing prior to cutting the parts down to hexagons. ;) I started with rectangles, did all the needed routing and drilling and then trimmed the pieces to the final shape.

Joseph.
 
I love your system. It has been on of my favorite tanks that has inspired me. Great work and thanks for sharing..
 
Here's a full-tank photo update for you taken yesterday...
