PSU REEFER'S 500g peninsula

[PSU REEFER]

Well here's how I did the lighting: 2 -660's for the 6' VHO's. Have 1-454, 2-super actinic, and 1-aquasun. When its time to rplace the bulbs I'm going to change out the aquasun for another 454. The aquasun seems to overpower the other 3. MH are 4-400w
right now I have 10k driven by Icecaps but its too white for me so I'm getting some 20k to run. I'll probably go 2 10k and 2 20k. The 10k are EVC's and the 20k are Plusrite's

Here's some pics of the sump and skimmer in action.

Here's a comparison shot of the size for reference:

And now for the tank in its early stages. I was going to go w/ very little rock for more of an open look but after seeing the bigger fish in there I decided to add more. Here is w/ original rock work:

And currently how it is now:

Congratulations on finally starting a build thread (and learning how to post pics...next thing you know, you will be texting!)

I have seen this tank in person and it looks GREAT!! Awesome job. Can't wait to see it fill in.

Thanks, and don't bet on it about the texting

Looks really great Rob! I am in love with all the extra reflectors in the canopy on the doors. You'll need to host a meet sometime. Of course, it would've looked nicer if you took this stupid 2 foot serpent star that is now stuck in my tank.

Sorry to patch through on an old thread, but do you still have the fish you advertised in the RR post recently. E-mail at hankflossi@aol.com. Ed
