Is this a zeo system? Also sorry but I've tried to find the specs in the thread....what lighting are you using.

The rusty/pink acro has orange tips from the picture. That one is something special ....

Thanks for the nice comments. Yes it is a zeo system. It is a 5 x 2 x 2 150 gallon tank. I have 3 x 250 watt halides with cheap China 14k halide bulbs, and 4 x 84 watt T5's (Giessman Actinic plus and KZ fiji purples) and 2 x 54 watt T5s (Aquascience 10K I think). Also 2 x single LED moonlights.

Thank you Kien and Cuz for the nice remarks.

You just gotta go bigger Brett , you're the one always bugging me. Have to yank colonies cause I can't go bigger, although I did trick my wife once into saying yes, but she quickly retracted her statement.

A wise man (rus) once said "It is better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission"

yeah it is definitely easier to ask for forgiveness than permisssion...

So here's the plan then. Order a new tank, order new lights etc. Send my wife and kids away for a week....then during that week install the new tank and everything. Then when my wife and family comes back, they can't really make me take it out..... think it'll work?
