I haven't gotten one yet, I'm researching and trying to decide.
I really don't like the disco ball pendant, but its OK, doubt I get it.
I had started to go with a Sunpod 150w 20", but have started moving towards more expensive lights, like the ATI 24" 4x24w Powermodule
It would look something like this but I'd hang it above the tank...

Wanted to see what experience everyone has with lighting a tank that has a DIY clear mesh top (or equivalent pond netting) to keep jumping fish in the tank for open top tanks.
Has anyone measured PAR levels for 400W or 250W MH (let's say on good reflectors - lumenarcs, SE, and good bulbs - radiums) with and without the mesh top? I'm just thinking that there's got to be some amount of reduction in light reaching the corals. I'm just not sure how significant it is.
Want to keep some wrasses with SPS, but may have to re-think my fish list.
Thanks!

Let first say to all of you awesome looking tanks! They are all very beautiful.
I am in the process of tanking quotes on a custome tank based on the dimensions of the Elos 160xl (63"L x 31.5"W x 24"H). I am attempting to get as many quotes as possible. I have a list so far of builders, but tell me who I'm missing;
1) Miracles - Had a quote from last fall, $2000 and change.
2) Deep Sea - Just got a quote, $4659, more than the Elos!
3) Ocea - Awaiting quote, located in AL.
4) Glass Cages - Had a semi quote from a couple of months ago, $2400 + shipping or cost of pick up.
5)AO - Haven't sent for a quote yet.
6) Visio - Can't find any contact info for them.
7) Lee-Mar - Can't find any contact info for them.

Here's mine: I just set it up last night so it's still a work in progress. It's a Rhinopeas only tank in my office at work. The tank was custom made at miracles, the stand I built myself out of 3/4 maple. Dimensions are 23"L X 23"H x 17"D

I love AGE tank builds, they will probably do my next tank, in a few months to a few years...they just make them very nice.
