This picture is a few months old (since then added quite a few Acro frags). Here's my Illuminata though.

very nice, I love your rock work, really makes me wish I went with less.

Great pictures everybody. I have one that is dry right now (had to move twice since we bought it) and have a couple questions about setup.

What return pumps did you guys use? I will have a sump but don't need to T it into a refugium and I will also be using an mp40 for flow.

It looks like everyone hung their lights, was that for looks or because the lip can't support the light? I like everyone got a 6 bulb T5 fixture for it.

I am going to use a Marineland utility 3000 for the return pump. Should be great. As for lighting; I think most ppl hang them because it looks better over a rimless tank. Not much point in buying a rimless tank if you're going to put a light fixture on it. IMHO.

I'm using the Eheim 1260

Johnny C, looking great. Have you decided on which way you're going with lighting?

Thanks Bud. Sorry I haven't updated my thread, I've been working on my prop tank and the 57 took the backseat for a bit. I do however plan on buying an ATI Powermodule this weekend. I'm kinda worried about the high par, but I'm going to use 6 mo. old bulbs to acclimate my corals and then gradually switch.

Johnny you have a beatiful layout, congratulations.

Does anyone know how far from the back the overflow drains are? Also, what is the diameter of the bulkhead on the bottom? (not for piping issues but for stand drilling holes)

Thanks in advance

Anyone have the Illuminata stand and can you post a pic of it?
TIA,

All of these tanks look great. Crsaz, I like the spotlight effect.
