Rimless Aquarium Club

If you guys had Lumenbrights and a powermodule to use on a rimless 48x30x18, which one would you use. I feel the PM is a cleaner and sleeker look, but I just love MH. The other thing is that i will be hard to add supplementation with the LBs. which I like to have.

BTW I'll be joining the club this weekend

I prefer MH too and use a LB pendant.

I supplement with LEDs. Mounted behind the LB using marine grade velcro is an actinic Ecoxotic Stunner strip. And I hung a track lighting rail (from Lowes) to mount PAR38 LED spots - 2 Sunbrite actinics and 2 Nanotuners 12K.

My rock scape is coming along & I added a couple fish. Also moved a couple of corals over from the other tank, but nothing is mounted yet.





 
Here's mine! 120 Rimless Starphire 48"x24"x24" from glasscages and I built the stand.

This is a picture of my 90Gal 36"x24"x24" at home, running on all T5. (Sorry for the picture quality, it was taken with my phone.)

My Elos 70 55Gal at my office that was setup this week. I'm using a Viper 150W Clip-on for now, I have a Elos E-Power 250W that I have to figure out how to hang it.

Sorry for the late response....

My bulb combo is 8 ATI Blue +, 2 KZ Fiji Purple, and 2 Aquascience 15k. It is ridiculous, I just can't get the pictures to depict it properly. My tank looks "neon" for lack of a better term - The intensity of the flourescence and actinic pop is off the charts.

Who are the best rimless manufacturers/distributors? I live in northern New Jersey and am looking for a tank for my first saltwater setup. I might just end up going with a 40g breeder because all the rimless tanks I've looked at are pretty pricey.
 
I am getting my 90gal rimless set up now...

Just curious, what fish are you guys successfully keeping in your tanks WITHOUT using netting, eggcrate, etc? Which fish are NOT jumpers?

Thanks,
 
I think it's possible for most fish to jump. I have even heard angel, tang, clown jumped, I think wrasse, goby and jawfish are probably the worst. I think fish like cardinal, clown, angel and tang have less chance to jump.
 
I have a yellow tang, one spot fox face, true perc clown, and chromis. So far only lost 1 chromis... jumping is an issue though definitely limits your choices... I would probably stay away from wrasses, gobies, fire fish, jawfish etc because they are usually jumpers. BRS sells netting now that you can put in a screen frame, but it kinda kills the look of the rimless tank in my opinion.
