WOW! It looks great! What a project - whew. You'll love the 90. I really enjoy mine, but have come to the conclusion that no matter what size the tank is - it's still not big enough to put all the corals you want to get. The 90 gives a good amount of depth to aquascape.

Is looking really good, congrats... Just a question, don't you think the ballasts are to close to the aquarium glass ???? The ballast are real hot when working, is that bad ????

here are a few more of it done...up and running....
by the way the pic's dont do a good job of showing the correct color of the 15k XM bulbs...they are more blue in person....
and i am also sad to say that 75% of the corals if not more...are NOT mine...just holding them for ghotit while i was staining his stand-canopy...
