Great looking tank! I'm curious, what kind of lighting set up is that? Are those 250 watt?

T5's - 4 bulbs - 54w a piece. A total of 216watts. I actually have to keep a heater on year round because the fan keeps my tank 2 -3 degrees coler than my home AC. I like to keep my tank right at 80.

 

[DamnPepShrimp]

AMAZING COLORS! Your tank looks great!

 

[Brewen]

WOW great looking tank. Your keeping it simple is working out great. Thanks for sharing

 

[MrSquid]

Wow...truly awesome! That's want I want my tank to look like when it grows up!

2 1/2 years in the making - and worth every second of it - I'm sure!

I have to go clean the boxers I am wearing, damn good job, I love it.
