Thanks, appreciate it. To get the fish to pose for pics, just dangle a mysis shrimp outside the glass and say "staaaaaay....good boy"
Thanks, appreciate it. I have always run T5s. I live in So. Cal so heat is always an issue. Don't run a chiller, but am able to stay lower than 82 degrees at the max in summer. Usually hang around 80 degrees though. If I had more cash to dump into this, I would love to give LEDs a try (that a whole nother conversation though)
Thanks, appreciate it, learned from the best, all you guys/gals.

Nice setup.
Thanks, appreciate it.
Awesome tank. This is actually my next planned upgrade 5'x2'x2'. Couple questions for ya
1. Based on an earlier comment, I take it your a taller guy like myself (6'5"). How tall is your stand? Can you reach the sand with your hand without using a step stool?
2. Is the tank close to being at eye level with that height or do you find yourself still bending down some to get a good look?
3. You went with a center over flow vs a single or dual corner. Was this a preference?
4. Who made your tank and stand?
Thanks

i am 6'7" tall also, and i will say that my 24in tall tank sits on a short stand (30-36inches) and i can reach my hand in the tank and touch the sand bed. (there is a canopy so i have to reach over a 1x2 and i have a few inches to spair. i will say my stand sucks because when i look at the tank, all i see is either the canopy or the front few inches of sand.......
if you have someone/make a stand, make it super tall. (make it for your viewing pleasure. after you get your tank up and going, your really never in the tank, except once every few weeks/month to scrape the glass. (i only do that when i know someone is coming over!!))
just my opinion.

nice tank !!
Thanks...
1 Stand is 30" tall. I can reach the san without a stand, but it is just fingertips. I use a step when i have to do work that requires more percision.
2 I have a sofa in front of the tank so it is perfect for sitting. Standing by the tank requires bending over to get a good look.
3 No real preference on the overflow. Didn't know much at the time of purchase, so i just went with what they had.
4 Forget the manufacturer of the tank. Bought it through LFS which ordered it from the main guys in L.A.
Thanks. I definately love having lotes of fish as well as the reef. Plus my kids like the fish more than the coral.
Thanks, appreciate it.

Nice tank, are you planing of putting more fish.
Thanks, appreciate it.
Thanks, as much as i want to add more fish, i must resist the impulse to add just one more. i think the 23 i have is plenty, maybe if i get to upgrade tank.
