Thank you! That's the Sfiligio Infinity light fixture. 4 T 5's and one 400w Metal Halide

I love seeing progress like this

And by the way, your tank looks 10X better in person, no pic can do your set-up justice

Looks awesome. Thinking of all the things that you have to plan for has my head spinning in preparation for my own tank build. Is there anything that you "forgot" that you wished you had planned for?
