It is really an amazing looking tank. Congratulations! It almost makes me want to dabble more in FW.
Doh! I knew I was forgetting something.. few too many beers before posting I guess.. Tank is lit with 4 x 96 watt CF bulbs and 4 x 65 watt CF bulbs. I am making some 150 watt HQI pendants to replace some of the CF bulbs, but for the time being this is working.

The thunderstorms happen twice a week, for an hour a day.

You can do a lot of fun stuff with Freshwater, but, much like a reef, it gets costly (lots of light, CO2 equipment etc)
