That's pretty much how we all do it...

 

[Reefugee]

Dang Bay Area people. They just have to show it off.

 

[bored4long]

Any idea what they are doing for lighting this thing? Will it just be natural sunlight?

I so want that tank!!! I can't wait till they re-open. I'm planning on a trip out there for opening day! Hopefully!

That's some sweet aquascaping they did.

Well, I went home and tried this...and I just couldn't quite get myslef balled up enough to fit through the openings to my 55 gallon, going to go get the dremel and take out the center brace that might help......

The big yellow umbilical cord thing, that should be hooked up in the same place as my garden hose right?....

and the other end up your arse...

As far as lighting, I believe they are doing some couple MH. and such... I no longer have that link, but it would of been nice as they did a piece on lighting, filtration, and UV sterilization if I remember correctly.

 

[buzzbombtom]

their old tank had like 4-6 mh lights in a smaller tank so i believe that this one will have at least 3X that amount

 

[bored4long]

I'm curious how effective MH would even be at that depth. I assume they would be 1k watters...

Still hoping MARS can get Matt up here for one of our meetings to discuss his work at Steinhart.

 

[WarrenG]

At the surface of the ocean it's about 2000 einsteins of light. That can be duplicated with MH. Most of the colorful corals we keep are below 10 feet deep, like in the aquarium shown.

"Honey, what's our budget look like for a tank upgrade?"

 

[Reefugee]

I copied this out of the video clip. You can see the MH lights.

This is all great stuff! I can't wait until the end of September comes around!
