Awesome pic. Most of the tanks I aquascape I try for a similar feel, lots of open sand, mini-islands, big coral.

 

[Hurley675]

I bought my liverock last week, I'm aquascaping right now. Besides that I'm building my lightrack for the MH+T5.

I'll post some pictures when I'm done

Why thank you, Shawn. I never knew.

Maybe that's because I can't find it? Seriously, I don't see "Subscribe to this Thread" on my page.

Finally some pictures of the lightrack; thanks for your patience! Don't mention the 'beautiful' red carpet, it's in my bedroom and my parents choice!

------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to have a very ajustable lightsetup; I want to point the light right above the tabling Acropora, without wasting anything. Thats why I made my lightrack this way:

Both Lumenarcs (not shown here) will have their own small rack, and it can be slided across the whole lightrack. Their also ajustable front to back a bit.
Also the two small 2x24 Watt T5 are slidable across the lightrack.

The two 2x80 Watt T5 pendants are fixed to the lightrack.

The whole aluminium lightrack is powdercoated so no corroded (toxic) aluminium can drip into the tank.

The 2 MH 70 Watt Spotlights will be clamped onto the rack, where extra light is needed.

Total lighting will be:

2x 400 Watt Aqua Connect with Lumatek E-ballasts in Lumenarcs
2x 2 80 Watt Aquascience T5 in ATI Pendants
2x 2 24 Watt Aquascience T5 in Aqua-Connect Pendants
2x 70 Watt 6500 K MH Spotlights with Osram E-ballasts

A small moonlight LED is pointed into one of the Lumenarcs to give an even, spreaded dim light.

I will post some FTS soon, when I'm done aquascaping.

Sweet. Looks like you have planned it out well and not skimped on the equipment. Should be very nice.

Are those 70w MH units available in the states, and if so where? I love the look of those things.
