Hey, philosophish the tank and stand was $350. The stand is really well made. Fully setup to fit a sump underneath and is drilled on the top to run plumbing through. Nice little set up for the cost, cant wait till its up and running

Glad to find this thread... I love shallow tanks. I currently have a 12 long (36x8x9), but am planning to upgrade this winter to a 48x18x12 tank, and am wondering about lighting. I know I could go with T5s, but I'm also thinking about 70w MH. Would 2 of those be sufficient for a tank of these dimensions? I've never used MH before.

I just started 80 gallons shallow reef, still waiting for ordered skimmer (ATI PoweCone 200) and lighting Giesemann Infinty. Now I have there 4 fishes, which I had to put there after 2 weeks cycling. I had before Biorb Life which was not suitable for reef ...

I'd have to second this, not to mention depending on where you live the less heat T5's tend to put out can be nice for you tank.
Right now I have a 36" 6 bulb tek t5ho.
Its not enough light for the tank.
Adding in another 6 bulb tek would work but I dont want to change 12 bulbs a year.
I was thinking a 250w halide with a lumenmax 3 (11.5"x11.5")
But i doubt that will be able to takeon a 3x3' area.
What every one useing to light wide tanks?

NICE TANK EDGERO!
Great choice on the fish too. There is something appealing about natural light hitting a tank and seeing the true colors of everything in it.
