Wow- photos
Just came across this. I'm sure lots of you have seen photos of this tank but these age shots are pretty amazing....

i love the open top like that. no bracing at all i wonder how thick the galss need to be for a tank like that? even the overflows are hard to see in there. very nice set up.

This is an excellent example as to why having a deep tank owns. You just can't get that kind of effect when trying to aquascape with even a 30"W tank. The drill and rod method can be used to make some really interesting aquascapes, but this is truely beautiful.
OOOh and his coral growth is outstanding!  |

Wonder how much it would cost him to replace all 26 bulbs? Looks like 7 MH, 9 t5, 5 pc, 5 incandescent, and 1 halogen.
Check out how he spelled halogen in the lighting diagram.

I'm betting that lighting could be done a little better, far more efficiently at least.

from what I have read those style MH bulbs are twice as efficent as the standard style bulbs we use. There was a thread on RC awhile back where Sanjay was talking about them.

Carmen- I read the same thing. Seems like some companies are starting to move towards these type of lighting set-ups. At least I've seen a few in the new 2006 wholesale catologs....
