very nice tank, just curious where is concept aquariums located in edmonton?
what are the dimensions of your tank? what kind of lighting are you going to go with, and oh yeah, dont you want to put unions on that OM4 way, when you want to service it, same with ball valves? ive never had one but i figure its best to put it on all your equipment that needs to be serviced one time or another.

I am not sure where in edmonton CA is located as I have never been there.
Here is a link to their sitehttp://www.conceptaquarium.com/
Thanks for the complement, I have an 8 bulb 48" tek light. It runs 54 watt T5's. The dim. of the tank is 48x30X24. I did not put ball valves or unions on the OM as an oversight but I am not too concerned as a friend of mine has the exact same set up for 3 years or so and has never had to service it. aside from that the internals are accessable from the top of the unit so...I have put unions on virtually everything else though.
Cheers

Here's a pic of the 8 bulb tek light, I have since changed the bulb configuration so that I get a more even colour arrangement.
