Tank is 150WÃ"”90DÃ"”65H (cm) so ~60x35x25"

I think the lights are one factor, but this guy knows what he’s doing….


Lights: MT-250WÃ"”3 (Takeda) the super cool 115Ã"”2 (the marine blue and the aqua blue) K- superhigh cool 120Ã"”2 NZ pendant type fluorescent light (BB450Ã"”2, RB37Ã"”2)

What about filtration also can you just list out the K', the wattage, an the brand I could barely understand it as I'm sorta new to this.

Most of the japanese tanks use colored spot lighting set up to show off each large corals color.

Exactly, colored spotlighting is very popular in Asia...not sure why is hasn't caught on in the US yet. The spotlights are very decieiving, yet ingenious. If you look at the rear pic of his tank you can see just how drab and washed out it looks without the spotlights. The colored bulbs are matched to the color of each coral, greatly enhancing the corals coloration.

It's just like the new anchors on TV who have bright spotlights pointed at their face to give them a healthy, tanned skin tone.
