About 24 hours later and the tank is running like a champ. The LED's really bring out the color of all the coral better than the T5's. Also the tank doesn't get above 78 with LEDs. When I had the T5's the tank would get upto 82.

So sweet.


What are you using for flow besides the return lines?

Nothing yet, I'm trying to find a decent power head I can hide. Everything has full polyp extension right now and seems happy.

Vortech would probably be the least noticeable option.

I have a feeling my next build will entail an LED fixture.

I like your rock work! Really cool! What is the total wattage consumption of this LED lighting? Looks just so bright!

Thank you for the comments. I was planning this for a while and really wanted a centerpiece for my condo. I played around for a year with a 55 and spent the last 6 months figured out what I should have done and how to do it. This tank is really the product of forums and members just like this one.

That rockwork shape is insane. The LED fixture is really sexy too. You've done a great job.

Thank you very much. How do you do that?

Very nice! I'm thinking of ordering this tank. Did it come with the light hanging fixtures?
