The light are 7" off the water.

The pendant is a Aqua Medic Aquaspacelight, 24" wide. The bulbs are 6" apart from eachother. Because I made one big reflector that covers the whole pendant+the two bulbs, I have a much better lightspread now.

Heat issues are prevented by 2 6" PC-fans, that are blowing cooler air under the pendant. Also the evaporation prevents heat issues.

Here you see the pendant, plus the two 2 x 24 pendants that I mounted on. (older pics)

Leo, your tank is looking better everytime you post pics, congrats That's an awesome combination of fishes you have there.

[Leonardo's Reef]

Thanks!

Actually, when I was looking for more fish, I was searching for more Apogons or Anthias. But when I saw these Myripristis jacobus I immediately liked them.

They are mostly nocturnal fish, so they are most active in the evening and at níght. It's really cool to see them hunt at 2 A.M. in complete darkness.

I'm thinking about using a single LED, as a moonlight. That way I can observe them better at night.

I could borrow a Nikon camera for just one more day (and it's still hard to make a good picture as you see), so I went a little picture-crazy. Sorry for that

One of the best tanks I've seen. It has a simple beauty to it, very Zen.

King-Kong, don't feel inferior, my tank is far from perfect!

Hng, thanks for the compliment, I always liked the Japanese tanks. I have tried to create that Zen-look in this tank.
