I reckon 265g gross and around 200g Net

The tank at the bottom of the sump is only half full as it takes the drain from all others. Just enough space

That is really, really, really, nice., just an outstanding job on the stand., it's beautiful., the tank looks awesome in that location., I'm thinking your reflectors are SLS Lumenmax Elites?., they look good and seem to give you some really good spread.

Good Job!

Beautiful tank! Turned out really slick! I'm considering the same reflectors, how you like them?

Hi Josh & Wayner,

Very happy so far with the reflectors; they seem to spread the light very well. Not sure about my bulb selection yet. I have gone with 2x 250w 14k Ushio & 1 x 250w 20k. I wanted to see the difference before making my mind up. The 20k is very blue but i wonder if it will be enough PAR; I love the way it brings out the colours though. The 14k is a cooler white, but doesn't pop the colours as much. I had been running actinics on my last tank so i might end up supplementing these pendants with t5's..

Simon
